Committee

• There was a recommendation to increase the entry fees for 2012 to £4 per class, this would allow the purchase of medals for the winners and certificates for 2^nd and 3^rd places.

              Proposed by Ian Phillips and seconded by David Harvey.

• The committee also expressed a concern that the certificates for the last four race meetings be printed / back dated and issued to the relevant 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd position winners.

• George McDonald made it know to the committee that he wished to be considered for the position of Chairman. This was proposed by Paul Heaton.

John Foster proposed that Peter Barrow remains as chairman.

At this point both George and Peter left the meeting room to allow the members to vote.

The results of the vote were : George 3, Peter 8.

• It was suggested that the 2012 race dates be scheduled as close to the outgoing 2011 dates.

There would be 4 meetings scheduled for Bridlington and 3 meetings at Bury.

Ian Phillips agreed to inform Paul Heaton of the 2012  race meeting dates.

• Phil Miller proposed a new class of racing for NADS….'Super Cat'.

After much discussion about cell capacity/size/weight, it was voted on and agreed unanimously (with only 1 against) , that up to a maximum of 12s 5000mAh was the agreed cell for the Super Cat class.

• Dave Harvey proposed that for 2012, the maximum number of  classes to be raced by an individual should be 3.

This would free up sometime in between races for the allocation of jobs on the day.

Proposed by Dave Harvey, seconded by Rob Physick.

• Allocated race numbers for 2012.

              It was agreed that once you have registered and been allocated a race number, this number 

              would stay with your boat/class for the remainder of the season.

• The 'year end' overall positions were discussed, with regard to any equal/tied positions.

• The committee wished Mike and Denise all the best in their retirement from the kitchen duties.

              Many thanks for all the excellent breakfasts, lunch, teas and coffee that has been served over the

              years.
