Membership

As promised from our last blog we said we would update you on membership renewals.

With guidance from ACC there were several options put on the table.

A virtual text meeting took place with a vote on which option to take it was option five.

That is all paid up members for year 2020 will be valid for the year 2021 and to be renewed January 2022.

Put in plain English no subs will be collected this year.

PS

Just a reminder even though the club is closed work still goes on behind the scenes and a big thank you must go to our honorary treasurer S B for chasing up grants available to us to help keep the club on a financial footing for when we open again.

Hope to see you all when the government says it safe to do so.

CHARITY OF THE YEAR

This year the club is raising funds for a Defibrillator to be purchased & installed at the club

Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (VF) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (VT). A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a countershock) to the heart.

Having a Defibrillator can be life saving.... please give generously.
