The BPYC AGM was held virtually via Zoom on 25 July 2021. Here is a short summary of the key discussion points and decisions:

• The minutes of the 2020 AGM were adopted

• Judith Rintoul was granted Life Membership of Blues Point Yacht Club Incorporated for her outstanding service to the club over the years.

• The treasurer’s report was adopted. The club is in a good financial position in spite of COVID-related challenges such as the raffle not being run for almost half of the financial year.

• The Commodore’s report was adopted. This had been circulated to members ahead of the AGM. Key points presented by Michael Jansen included the adoption of the SailSys handicapping system, and acknowledging the contribution of the late David Swain to the club. The commodore also announced the winners of the various series and trophies (see separate news article).

• The Race Calendar for 21/22 had been circulated but due to the uncertainties relating to Covid this will need to be revisited in due course, members will be informed asap.

  • Commodore: Michael Jansen

  • Vice-Commodore: Carl Braden

  • Treasurer & Secretary: Bill Steenson

  • Ordinary member: Glen Ormerod
