Agenda
Commodore’s opening address:
This will be the first time we have held an on-line AGM and we hope that it will go smoothly. By holding this on-line, all our members are able to take part. In the past some have been unable to travel to distant locations and have therefore been excluded. Everyone can have their say this time. Please take a little time to consider the options you are being asked to vote on. The Poll page will allow you to simply tick the option that you are in favour of. The results will be published as soon as they have been counted.

*At the AGM, all offices become vacant. Members who wish to nominate a candidate for any of the posts of: Secretary, Membership Secretary, Treasurer, Cruise Coordinator or Committee Member should forward their nominations to the Secretary as soon as possible and in any case 2 weeks prior to the elections.
Where there are no candidates nominated, the present post holders will be asked if they are willing to continue in post for the next year and then, subject to your confirmation, they will be duly elected by poll.
The Office of Commodore is selected by the Committee at its first meeting after the AGM (usually immediately afterwards and the result is then minuted and circulated to the membership).
As some members may by then be on holiday or cruising without access to the internet, apologies for absence should be communicated to the Secretary (ged@rascal.org.uk) if possible.
