The committee will need help with all these new items.
Annual Club Lunch 29th January
This year we used the new venue to the club which is Ormesby School Field Centre in Baldersdale.
This proved very pleasant and the food provided by the Food Technology teacher did us proud with more than adequate helpings of delicious food.
My personal favourites were the pies. Both meat and apple!!
Many thanks to Paula, Bob, Theresa and her daughter. All worked so hard to make it the success that it was.
Thanks are also due to Paul who entertained us with a wide variety of folk music. This for me was the icing on the cake.
Please have a look at the photos section in the clubs Yahoo group. Members please add more if you have any.
Gift Aid and Club Subscriptions
An effective way to keep fees low is for us to take full advantage of our CASC status by adding a
donation when we pay our club fees. This would allow us to claim Gift Aid from HMRC and provide an
additional 25% income on top of that donation.
The committee request that a suggested donation of £10 be Gift Aided with your fee. The level of donation, of course, is your decision and is kept confidential.
Teesdalesc closed moderated Yahoo Group
We are running this group this year mostly to provide a quick and easy way of communication between members.
What we have in mind is asking who might be sailing on a Wednesday. Instant messaging is also available.
Members will also be able to view and post photographs.
There are already several photos on the website and these will be gradually added to.
There is little risk in using this group as it is invisible to the public. Members of the group are by invitation only.
All members should have received this invitation by now.
All you have to do is accept the invitation and when sufficient have joined we can start to explore the possibilities it offers.
The club now has links (top right) into the RYA Shop which allow you to purchase RYA publications or join them as a member. If you use the link and subsequently make a purchase the club will get a commission of 8%. This will go to the club's development fund so please browse around.
Development Plans
The plans are can be seen in the club house and have been circulated by e-mail and ideas are invited for improvement or otherwise.
We plan to use grant aid together with our own contributions to finance the enterprise.
