	Second Club Members Meeting :: Posted Tue 8th Apr On Thursday 17 April, 7.30pm. This is your chance to input into the future of the club. Key issue raised at the first meeting - how do we convert more trainees into active members. How do we get more members sailing and involved in running the club. This is the chance for feedback from club committees on what we have done and explore how to improve matters. Also, the chance to get involved. This year will be the year of the cat, with one World and two national cat champs (F16, Tornado and A class), not to mention the Welsh Cat Championship, Gower Challenge and the Welsh Games. So come along to see how you get involved if you want to. It is your club, so how do we improve the club make it more attractive for members - better fixtures and fittings, improve the roof, live music, quiz's, improved gym, better showers. What other features should we have in club. Is it big enough or too big? What do you the members really want. Should we have a formal club dinner, DJ's and dancing into the night at a hotel? Should we have prize giving's in the club - annually, twice or three times per year. This is your chance to have an input into the direction of the club.
