A message from our Chairman

This is to remind you all that the AGM is on the 14th March.

This year unlike most years we have three long serving members of the committee standing down, this is due in part to age and the need for new ideas, but also to create the opportunity for the next generation to take the association forward in these ever changing times.

So it is to you that I am appealing for volunteers to step forward and become committee members.

Please don't take fright thinking, "What do I know about the Happy Return and what possible help could I be?" The committee is made up of eight members and as such we have the need for people with various talents and abilities.

The remit of the committee is much more than just looking after the Happy Return, far from just the maintenance and sailing of the boat, the committee has to actively consider such issues as recruiting new members, public relations, marketing, social media presence, fund raising and taking the MBLA forward into the future.

If you think that this would be of interest to you, or that you would just like to help as a non committee member then please contact me by replying to this email.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards

Mark
