2022 DCA Annual General Meeting

26/11/2021

0 Comments

 
This meeting will take place online using Zoom. To book your place, please complete the registration form on the AGM page in the Members Section of the website.   This form gives you the opportunity to propose items for the agenda, raise matters arising from the 2021 AGM minutes and nominate or volunteer for the  Committee positions that become vacant next year. 

When the Officers' reports become available in January, they will be available to download from the AGM web page.  It is important that you read these before the meeting takes place  as they will not be read in full at the meeting. If you have registered for the AGM, you will be sent an email prior to the meeting which contains the joining link and some advice about using Zoom

​After the AGM there will be a talk by Michael Storer, Australian small boat designer. Michael   has created a number of lightweight stitch-and-glue designs that have detailed build instructions and high performance on the water.    Among his well known designs are the Goat Island Skiff and the Beth and Viola sailing canoes. 

Find out how Michael evolved from a dinghy racer to a designer of multi-role boats by joining us at our 2022 AGM.

15/11/2021

0 Comments

 
The meeting to discuss and plan the NW regional rally programme for 2022 will be held by Zoom at 11 a.m. on Saturday, 5th February 2022. Details will be sent to NW members by email and posted in the North West section of the Forum nearer the time. Our NW Regional Secretary  is standing down at this meeting   after more than a decade in the job. Everyone in the North West will be sorry to see him go and we all extend our sincere thanks to him for the hard work he has put in over the years. Is there anyone out there willing to take up the reins?

The DCA was formed in 1955 and, as can be seen from our current membership numbers,   some 4000 people have  joined us over the years  for varying lengths of time. The  active membership has always ticked over in the hundreds   but now, for the first time, we  have reached   1000  active members in the Association!   It is great to see such growing interest and enthusiasm for dinghy cruising or should we say "messing about in small boats". ​
