It is an honour and a privilege to serve as Commodore for the club. Since the AGM in June, the Board of Governors has been working hard to define and agree a set of priorities for the coming year. A key objective is to strengthen the connection of the members with their club. This theme will extend through everything we do, including all of our sailing and social activities, creating the opportunity to continue to grow our club for the benefit of everyone that is involved. The club is the proud owner of a large asset base that provides the support for all of our activities and we need to be constantly managing and reinvesting in them. This year will see the establishment of an asset management committee and plan. Using this we will be able to prioritise our investment and also enable members to get involved and bring their skills and experience to keep things ship shape. One area that we will be focussing on this year is a club fundraising programme linked to a number of areas that are well overdue for some maintenance. Related to this is the upgrade to the Wardroom, which is one of the main areas where the club comes together to celebrate our enjoyment of sailing. The Board is committed to working together with everyone including our partner Wellington Hospitality Group as we undertake this important and necessary project. The Wellington Ocean Sports Centre (WOSC) continues to develop and provide a constant stream of new members to our club. We are planning to implement a mentoring programme as part of making sure that new members (including new skippers) can more easily access the advice and guidance that many of you already possess. Recently the Schools Water Safety Programme delivered by WOSC has seen several hundred school children from throughout the Wellington region successfully complete this highly valued water safety programme. There are significant benefits to our community from this programme and at the same time we are introducing a wide range of future members and supporters to our club. The Sailing and Social Committees have been working hard to frame up their programmes for the season and they are planning a number of flagship events that are great additions to our more regular programmes. Make sure you support their efforts by participating in all of the great events they have planned. Finally, I am encouraged by the large number of people who freely volunteer their time and skills for our club. We are a fantastically diverse community full of people that have great experience and a shared passion. If you think you have something to contribute then you probably have, so don’t hesitate to get involved – together we can all strengthen our connection with the club.
