Well folks, just thought that as most of you will be having some free time over the Christmas period, that it is timely to remind you to go and update your standing orders for the new subs. The subs go up to £20 by SO from 1st January 2013. You need to go on line to your bank and update the instructions. NOTE, if you have been a member for a long time, your SO may well be to our old bank, and also probably contains a long ref number like DFS 12345. YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE BANK TO SANTANDER SORT CODE 72 00 03 ACCOUNT NO 59523285, AND REPLACE THE OLD REF NO WITH YOUR SP15 NUMBER. If you dont know your SP 15 no, please E mail me.
I am shortly going to be handing over the reins as Secretary to David Groom, and after our handover meeting on 6th Jan, David will be your man.
There will almost certainly be a number of you who will ignore this message, as there are so many other pressing things to do- BUT, if your subs are due before the next mag comes out in April/ May, and you havent paid the new amount, then you will not be receiving your mag thru the post. So please make life easier for your new Secretary David, your Treasurer Howard, and Magazine Editor George, and change those SO's NOW.
Cheers and good sailing for 2013
