[ANU Sailing Club] Time to renew your membership + this week at the boat shed and coming events

[adam leavesley]

Ahoy everyone,
 
Are you ready for another year of fun, low-cost sailing with the club? Then please renew your SRA membership (ANU students are usually exempt) and your Club membership (all members) by the end of the month, as all memberships expire February 29th.
 
It is especially important to have memberships renewed on time, because it makes life easier on the secretary, to bulk-process memberships that are submitted before the expiry date, because our AGM will be held in the second half of March. To renew go here: http://sailing.club.anu.edu.au/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=72
 
Please also consider a position on the Committee. All roles will be vacant when the 2011 Committee is disbanded at the AGM. There is likely to be a big switch around of roles on the Committee and lots of opportunities for new members to help shape the future of the club. 
 
What's on this week
 
Tuesday
