MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL. Saturday, 20th August, 2016, after BTC Regatta.

MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION COUNCIL.

Saturday, 20th August, 2016, after BTC Regatta.

Following the decision to move the BTC Regatta to the Coalporters course - I need to confirm the arrangements for the meeting of the Association Council on Saturday, 20th August, 2016 with reference to the Associations Constitution - Rules (7) and (12). The meeting will still be held immediately before or after the prize giving - probably in the training area of the Coalporters Clubhouse - depending on the circumstances - an announcement will be made over the PA system.

Voting rights at the council meeting are the Associations Executive Officers, the Associations Life Vice Presidents plus one delegates from each affiliated Club and one delegate from each affiliated Event(H&D Constitution Rules number (7/7.1). Officers and delegates must be in attendance to vote and the vote will be by card - which will be issued at or before the meeting.

Alternative arrangements in the unlikley event that the BTC Regatta at Coalporters is cancelled or abandoned -

1) If the BTC Regatta at Coalporters is abandoned after the start of the Regatta the Council meeting will take place at Coalporters Rowing Club as soon as practical - the time will be announced over the PA System at the Regatta.

2) If  the Regatta is cancelled the day before the Regatta due to the forecast, or on the morning of the Regatta, but before it starts, the arrangements will be unchanged - and the meeting will take place at BTC or Itchen Imperial Rowing Club at 1.00pm on Saturday, 20th August.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DELEGATES ARE AWARE OF THESE ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS.
