What's on this week: 21 July 2020

Dear reader,
There is quite a lot of information in Coffee Pointers today including a call for Nominations for the Management Committee, and information about the Annual General Meeting which will be conducted on Wednesday 2nd September 2020. Members will receive emailed Notices over the course of Wednesday (tomorrow) as not all members subscribe to Coffee Pointers and some members will have letters posted to them. Staff will start posting Membership cards and windscreen stickers this week, and they will be accompanied by an information letter reminding members about the mandatory requirements for boat insurance, power cords and the like.

We are nearly at the end of July so please take the opportunity before July 31st to renew your membership and be in the special prize draw for a chance to stay at the Crown Towers and a Mazda to drive around for the weekend, plus a $250 Club voucher. Don't forget to come down to the club soon for an additional 10% (ex gst) off your food and beverage purchases. See you soon!
