A gentle reminder to everyone that the club AGM will be held tomorrow, Saturday 2nd December 3pm at the Royal Mersey Yacht Club (CH42 1LS).
The bar will be open and there will be some sandwiches available, but as is traditional you are invited to bring along a plate of food to share after the meeting.
Nominations for the positions of Commodore and Hon. Secretary are still being sought.
We have brought forward the start time for the RG65 Popup event to allow for more races with the potential for the light fading rapidly if we started later.
