Resignations

To all Members,
Over, the last week the FMYC Committee has very reluctantly had to accept resignations from two people who have provided invaluable assistance to the club since its rebirth in 2010.
The resignations are completely unconnected with each other, but both will leave gaps and I and all the Committee will miss their input, their time and their energy.
The first resignation was from Richard Williams (‘Amazing Grace), who in spite of adverse weather, has done his very best to organise the Club Cruises. With the Heybridge cruise still to come he will continue to be involved in marina & club life, but after that we will have a vacancy for someone to help put together future Club Cruises.
The second resignation was from Michael Ratcliffe (Ratters), who expected to have more time free when he retired…. Apparently, he hasn’t!
Michael was one of the people that was instrumental in the rebirth of the club and has done an enormous amount of work to help maintain our aging club house building.
Michael will continue with the arrangements for the ‘White Sail Racing’ and the ‘Paper Boat Race’ (see Calendar) and you will surely continue to see him around the marina.
Ratters input at the committee meetings will also be missed and his resignation creates a vacancy on the Committee.

Our many, many thanks to both for all their efforts & their time.


Mike Earl
Commodore
& FMYC Committee
