Item	Agreement of minutes	Date:-
Apologies	Chris Coote	Action
Attending	Tim Corbett, Mike Inness, Mark Hobbs, Anna & Peter Chrystie, SL-S, Peter Marshall, Adrian & Adam Fricker
Feva	We discussed the purchase of a Feva for which we have a grant of £2500 thanks to Chris Coote and Grassroots Grants. I appears that a good second hand boat can be sourced for about £2.5k. Anna Was given the task of finding a suitable boat with launching trolley. Dave Edwards put forward the idea that the club could buy a Sonata. The committee agreed that the idea would be good but maintenance and mooring fees would be burdensome Stephen Linley-Shaw suggested the Sonata World Series skippers could make more use of young sailors.	Anna
RIBs maintain	The small RIB engine is to be looked at by Adrian Mark and Tim are to clean and winterise the Ribs next weekend. Adrian told us that painting without bonding would make a mess so we have left this to just cleaning down. Tim offered new signage on Junior boats and we are grateful for this donation.	Adrian Mark Tim
Compound	A list of niggles was compiled for discussion with BYC. Ribs used by BYC were left in a ‘disgraceful’ state. Mess inside, safety canisters not stowed away in the shed, Flat battery, keys missing delayed our training, fuel cans not topped up. The cover of the big RIB was missing and later discovered by a volunteer ( Not clear where it was found) Shed Log books on wet ground Tables and chairs and ground tackle left in shed General championship ‘clobber’ dumped. Access to Compound Larks missed 2 days training after discussing access with BYC committee rep. Enterprise – ditto – this time the wayfarers were moved but locked in by 50 trailers. Michelmore tent was not a problem as we could get from the far corner through the tent!	BYC
Log books	Peter Chrystie suggested that we have a system of covering 3 items per session so these can be achieved and recorded. Tim has listed the elements on the web site and will make charts for display and filling in – the charts will be in the shed and completed by trainers after each session – it was emphaseid how important it is for the juniors to achieve a gaol.	Instructing staff
Safety boat course	Fred Farmer to complete his instructor course in Plymouth soon- complete at the time of writing these minutes. The following were considered for power boat courses :- Steve Davies Selby Thomas (Paris’ mum) Chris Coote The following were considered for safety boat courses :- Tim Corbett, Peter and Anna Chrystie, Mike Inness, Mark Hobbs, Adam Fricker. 2 day course 4 people per course. Likely dates end Oct and end Nov.	Fred
Application forms	Tim volunteered to find out about legal side of photo identity and general overhaul of our application procedure. It was agreed that if the club can be fully computerise this would relieve staff of lots of time spent communicating with membership.	Tim
AOB	Anna asked about possible Saturday instruction. It was agreed that we could get a lot more achieved on a day but at present the club may not have the necessary numbers of staff to cope. This will be brought up again and may be in 2010 programme. Anna has taken charge of the programme – best of luck. Wayferer maintenance. A work party is needed to examine each boat and put right the faults. Stephen Linley-Shaw is bothered about rudders. Sinking boats was thought to be a big problem and the room seemed to think the washers on the centre board case cause many of the problems. We resolved to sink a boat and watch where it leaks. Sails. Westerway and others are to be approached to supply new sails for Wayfarers. One set per year with company logo. Find disount prices. Buying unsold sails was suggested. Stephen Linley-Shaw to follow up	Anna TBA one Saturday Stephen Linley-Shaw
	Meeting closed 8:30 and followed by planned meeting with the BYC sailing committee to discuss the use of the compound.
