*******Vacancy on the Committee********
The requirement for a Branch Secretary becomes more acute every month that passes. It is only possible to provide speakers for only six of next years meetings. Please give give serious thought to putting your name forward and volunteering to keep the branch going. Should this be the case at the AGM in November that no one has come forward then the committee reserve the option to half the number of meetings which ultimately is the start of the decline of the branch. If you have any ideas on future meetings NOW is the time let someone know about it.
Annual Branch Solent Cruise
Due to financial pressures the branch has teamed up with the Thames Ship Society (TSS) for this years branch cruise. Both our branch and the TSS made significant losses running these trips last year. If the 2024 cruise again makes a significant loss then it may well be the last one we are able to run. Please support the cruise - remember friends and family are also most welcome.
COVID 19
COVID is hopefully a thing of the past but still out there but should you feel vulnerable attending our meetings or have any concerns please bring this to the attention of any committee member.
For any Interested Party
The Chairman has his sights on downsizing - therefore there are Marine News mostly bound available up to the time MN went digital from 1960.
