Little Ship Club
(Queensland Squadron)
Commodore’s report
By the time you read this August edition of eNews
all financial members should have received the
Notice of 2015 AGM and Nomination Form to
fill positions on the board. The Constitution states
that notices may be sent by post or email as options.
We have decided this year to send via email and post
only to members who have not supplied an email
address – about 10% of the membership. This is a
considerable cost saving to the Club of some $350.
This is my last opportunity to encourage members
to consider accepting a nomination and/or self-
nominating for a Board position.
Nominations close Friday 11th
September, 2015.
Please call me to discuss your ability
to contribute a small effort and make
a big difference for at least one term
on the Board. The LSC Board
will always require new blood to
continue our forward direction.
A new Honorary Treasurer has now
been appointed and we look forward
to her taking up her position next
month and continuing for the next
term to October 2016.
The Financial Reports are almost complete and once
collated will be distributed in the same manner as
above.
There has been a couple of unfortunate disruptions
at the Club in recent months and I would like to
strongly remind all members and their guests that
we are a licenced premise and as such are governed
by the Office of Liquor & Gaming and government
regulations.
Please obey any instructions from Board members,
and from the Managers or staff in charge so as not to
put their positions or the Club at risk.
A momentary lapse of good judgement is all it takes
to affect your good reputation and/or the Club’s.
We do not need any reminders of the past: moving
forward, united we stand.
On Sunday 16th August, Karen and I attended the
33rd birthday of the Southport Yacht Club’s facilities
at Dux on South Stradbroke Island.
Secretary Roger and Gaye, together with several
other LSC members, also attended the bash (see the
photos on p.9). Fantastic band, a packed venue, and
just plain good fun.
Thank you to SYC for the great
hospitality. Some of their members
we spoke with will be heading up
our way in the near future and we
look forward to returning the warm
welcome.
Dux managers Mark and Lyn Lopez
(also LSC Members) really had the
grounds looking great – with some
help from the local wallabies
(aka
Suzie and Wilbur).
The ‘red beacon episode’ is now,
hopefully, at an end.
After its relocation earlier this year, a report was
forwarded to the relevant authorities which resulted
in the beacon being moved again, on Tuesday 18th
August. Hopefully in the right direction this time.
Don’t forget to mark the dates for Trophy Night
(details of the nights’ events due soon) and AGM:
Trophy Night for LSC Club and Sections
(Fishing /
Game Fish /Sailing) on Saturday 10th October.
LSC AGM Sunday 11th October.
Fly your burgee with pride.
