2023-2024 AGM & Long Lunch in the Pub - Celebrating our champions and looking forward to 2024/25
Dear members, friends and supporters of BPYC,
This email is to give you a heads-up about the upcoming AGM Lunch and other events.
AGM Lunch
The AGM Lunch will be held on Saturday 20 July at our 'club house', the Blues Point Hotel (116 Blues Point Road, McMahons Point - on the off chance that you need to be told the address!).
A more detailed email invitation, including lunch selections and a TryBooking link, will be sent in the coming weeks. As in past years, the lunch will be heavily subsidised for Financial Members…
In the meantime, please pencil the 20th July in your diaries.The AGM includes the election of the new committee for 2024/25. Nominations are now open by replying to bluespointyc@gmail.com. The AGM also includes presenting the club's annual race prizes for season 2023-2024, as well as the opportunity to catch up with other club members over a long lunch.
David Swain Award
As well as trophies for the winners of the Spring and Autumn Series, and for specific 'named' races throughout the year we also have:
the David Swain Award. This is called the 'clubman' award, instituted by BPYC in memory of six-time Commodore, the late David Swain, which is awarded by the Committee to recognise the individual member who has made the greatest contribution to the club each year.
This year, the Committee is asking members to consider nominating another member for recognition with this award.
If you would like to do so, please either reply to bluespointyc@gmail.com or phone me (0478617191), indicating who you would like to nominate for the David Swain Award and how they have contributed to the club. Please provide nominations by Sunday 2 June 2024, so the committee can then consider the nominations (and get the winner's name engraved on the trophy before the AGM).
Cheers,
Bill
