The August 2022 SOCA Committee meeting was held on Thursday 18th August at the RNA in Welwyn Garden City.
Despite it being the peak holiday season it was a very well attended meeting with only one apology received.

All members commented that it was good to see the Commodore, Alex, in good health after his recent hip operation.

The committee discussed various topics including new requirements from our bank to stop money laundering??, the future programme of presentations and events, potential training, items for the website, and how to attract new members, plus general chit chat on sailing related topics. One of the new items on the agenda was two significant upcoming events in 2024.

2024 will mark the RNLI’s 200th birthday. It will also mark SOCA’S 40th anniversary.
