I would like to start by wishing everybody a very happy New Year.

Your committee will be meeting in the coming weeks to put together a programme of events throughout the year. We are open to suggestions if anybody has anything that they would like to see, however on the immediate horizon are the London Boat Show and our New Year cruise, river conditions permitting.

It is also that time of the year when we collect membership subs and membership fees are to remain £20 for the current year. It is your subs that keep the club going, pay for the website and the tools to produce these newsletters, so please do maintain your membership and continue to support the club.

I would also like to encourage those of you who receive this newsletter, but have yet to join, to come aboard. Our skippers look forward to welcoming you onto their boats over the coming season.

I will send out a renewal invitation on a separate e mail, however collecting subs is not the committee's favourite job, so we would appreciate it if you would make a New Years resolution to pay your subs promptly. 

Membership this year is £20, and covers the cost of running the website and newsletters. Our membership year runs from 1st January to 31st December and payment by the end of February would be appreciated.

Your subs may be paid by cheque which should be sent to the Treasurer, Christine Peppiatt, 30 Orchard Road, Brentford, Middx TW8 0QX. Alternatively, you can pay by BACS to account number 50198811 sort code 20 72 17. Attached below is a membership application and renewals form. Please complete this and send it with your cheque or e mail it to Christine if paying on line.

Please pay your membership as soon as possible so that you can be included on the membership list and continue to receive notice of events.
