Your Actions Are:
- review membership
- sign up for subgroups
The point of this exercise is to update the groups, so let me know using hollycherry1004@hotmail.co.uk where your name should/shouldn’t appear and I’ll amend the paper so we have an accurate record. Feel free to give yourself a new challenge and join a new group!
Subgroups are a valuable way of getting tasks done, and allow club members to use their skills, expertise and enthusiasm to contribute positively to the Club. Some subgroups will be permanent (standing subgroups such as the Technical subgroup), others may be time-limited to tackle specific tasks, e.g. Regatta subgroup.
Guidelines for operation of subgroups
All subgroups must:
- be approved by the Committee;
- be open to all members to join;
- report to each Committee meeting by email (nil return is fine) via a nominated person;
- ensure ALL expenditure is approved by the Committee prior to spending (and receipts provided to the Treasurer).
Prior to the AGM, all subgroups will submit a report of the year. It will be up to the new Committee to re-establish subgroups as required, though most groups are likely to continue.

| 1. TnT Group (Technique and Training) | To develop and improve club training activities. Crew selection for regattas etc. | Anne P, Anne F, Mel, Marianne, Maria, Lesley |
