Motion for Life Membership for Gillian & Charlie Horvath Vote 40 to 1 NO Motions 6th August 2011 Motion 1 7th August 2010 Moved Peter Jackson Seconded Terry McLeod “That Barrie Heath be given Life Membership for services rendered to the Association” Vote78 to 0 Motion 2 7th August 2010 Moved Lyn Bradford- Seconded Bruce Milne “That Alan Scott be given Life Membership for services rendered to the Association” Vote 80 to 0 Motion 3 7th August 2010 Moved Neil Billsborough Seconded Norm Thompson “replace the section on windows in sails with the following: “One or two panel of transparent material may be used in the headsail. This panel shall not exceed 0.6 sq. metres in area. One or two panels of transparent material may be used in mainsails to a maximum total of 0.6 sq. metres in area. Transparent panels shall not be placed closer than 150 mm from any edge of the sail” The possibility of a larger window panel distorting the set of the sail has been noted; however, as windows are optional, this could be the price paid for the benefit of a clearer view to leeward. It would be unfortunate if the class restrictions were seen to contribute to collisions involving TS16’s. Therefore this amendment to the Sail Measurement rule is proposed, strictly in the interest of safety Vote 24 to10 Unsuccessful motions are not recorded here. Page 5 Motion 4 7th August 2010 Moved Neil Billsborough Seconded Norm Thompson “That for the current rotation a one-off subsidy of $1500.00 per state be made by the National Association for the express purpose of assisting in the hosting of the Australian Championships.” As fundraising is becoming increasingly difficult in the current economic climate, this is an opportune time to assist states hosting the Australian Championships for the current rotation of states. Vote 68 to4 Motion 1 1st August 2009 Moved Bob Young Seconded Barrie Heath That Section 48(3)(c) of the Constitution be amended to read - “All current members’ certificates shall be renewed annually as membership is renewed. In the event of the sale of a boat, the certificate shall be returned to the Registrar for transfer to the new owner.” As the Constitution is currently worded it requires our Registrar to reissue all “A” class certificates annually on 1st July. It does not say this only applies to members of the Association. This is clearly impracticable for all “A” class certificates as some were issued many years ago and we have no idea where the boat is or who owns it. Also, we really should not require our Registrar to provide this service to non-members, and in fact he has not done so.
