Published 15:42 on 15 Jan 2022
To all Sailing Section Members,
I am writing to give notice and request your presence at the 2022 AGM of the Sailing Section of SWSC. The AGM will be held at the clubhouse on Sunday the 27th February 2022 at 2:30pm. Unless COVID-19 rules change, we are not currently proposing to hold the AGM virtually.
The Sailing Section AGM is one of your opportunities to have your say and get involved in how the Sailing Section of SWSC is run. As a valued member of our club, it would be great to see you there and for you to have your voice heard. Both the bar and the galley will be open for light refreshments during the AGM.
Each ordinary member and adult family member is eligible to vote on any new officers, committee members, rule suggestions, and any other business that is raised during the AGM. Junior and student members do not have voting rights at an AGM.

Current officer and committee roles
You can view your current committee on the SWSC.org.uk website here.
All current officers (Commodore, Vice-Commodore, Secretary, and Treasurer) must be re-elected each year.
All current committee members have agreed that they are happy to continue in their current roles and this will be voted upon at the AGM. However, if you would like to volunteer to be a part of the committee, please do not let this stop you! Our Duty Manager role is currently vacant so we would welcome any interest from members who would like to help support the running of the club in this important role. The Duty Manager is responsible for maintaining and managing the members online duty roster and ensuring sufficient cover is maintained to ensure the smooth and safe running of racing and other section events.
We look forward to seeing you at the AGM. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at secretary@swsc.org.uk. We will release any further details required for the AGM in February.
Kind regards,
Your Sailing Section Committee
