BSC AGM Short Report
Published 01:00 on 30 Apr 2025
The 2025 BCS AGM was held on Easter Monday at 11am in the clubhouse and proved to be a short but productive and well attended meeting.
Reports were received from the Sailing and House Committees, which were both able to present good news from 2024 with greater engagement in regular club activities both afloat and ashore, plus good open meeting attendances, a very successful Solo National Championship and the introduction of several new initiatives to encourage greater member participation, such as the Awesome Activities Days and the Fundraising Coffee Mornings.
The Treasurer's Financial Report also carried good news as, after a more difficult 2024, club income in all areas (sailing, bar/galley and training) was up again, costs were down and the bank account was returning to the levels of surplus that ensure financial security for the club. Treasurer Julie Eeles particularly highlighted the role of member volunteers in making this possible and encouraged all members to help out in what ever way they can, ashore or afloat, to keep our finances going in a positive direction.
