This is just a quick reminder to you about a couple of things:
You will have received the invoice for your 2015/2016 subs – if you want to pay the standing entry fee for the 2015/2016 season, but this amount isn’t shown on your invoice, then just add an amount of R210 to your payment as this is the standing entry cost. Payment of the standing entry fee means that you don’t have to worry to take money for your entry fee to the club when you want to race, and covers the entry fee for every race for the whole season, with the exception of regattas …
The 2015/2016 subscription fees are listed on the Club website, and we have tried to keep the increase in subs as low as possible. However, if you feel that you are unable to pay the full amount of your subs in one shot, please contact Connie as we do have an alternative payment plan in place for those members who ask for it.
If you are thinking of resigning your membership of HMYC, then unfortunately it’s too late for you to do this for the 2015/2016 season without still being liable for the subs for this season. The last day to resign for the 2015/2016 season without being liable for the subs was 30th April 2015.
Another reminder about the AGM – the date is Sunday 26th July. Ruth will be providing a cooked lunch for R75 per person, R150 per couple. However, HMYC wants to give something back to you, the member, so the first 10 couples booking for lunch will get their lunch free, thereafter if you book for lunch by the end of June 2015 you will pay only half price – R75 instead of R150 for two people!! Your Club will also sponsor a bottle of wine per table at the lunch.
Please contact Ruth to make your booking - her cell number is 083 363 7028, her e-Mail address is hutchens.ruthedith@gmail.com. The 2014/2015 prize-giving will be held after the AGM, and during the lunch.
If you are prepared to stand for any of the vacant Committee jobs, you will need someone to propose and a different person to second your nomination at the AGM. If you are unable to attend the AGM but are still prepared to stand on the Club Committee, you can send an e-Mail to Connie at hmyc@mweb.co.za stating your intention to stand for the position, as well as the names of your proposer and seconder.
I hope to see as many HMYC members as possible at the AGM and lunch. Thanks for all your support for the past season – it is much appreciated!!
