  1. SAMM 2011Aims and Objectives of the Committee Nomineespresented by Mike Phillipsat the 58th General Meeting15th December 2010

  2. Our Three Priorities • Sailing – we must not forget our primary raison d’etre is to help people get and stay on the water. All other objectives should support this, directly or indirectly. • Socialising – get to know your fellow sailors on and off the water • Supporting – a framework to help our varied Groups to flourish

  3. Sailing • Develop a full programme of practice, training and race days, well supported by a volunteer rota system of organisers – who are not penalised when organising • Racing representative and Group Leaders have the right to attend Committee meetings as necessary • SAMM arrange Civil Liability cover and FVRM/RYA membership for legality • Encourage new and current non SAMM members to participate which means we need to re-address SAMM Membership

  4. SAMM Membership • Retain current grades with voting rights and added benefits for non Group members • Consider Group fee collection (John Curtis proposal) and Group discount for early joining, dependent on numbers eg. > 20 - 15%, > 30 – 20% • Seek additional benefits for SAMM members to make a joining fee a viable, future option

  5. Socialising • A vibrant social programme can underpin our sailing activities, give opportunities to discuss sailing issues and be a source of extra funding for SAMM and its Groups if well supported. • SAMM arrange a minimum of 2 main events per year, Groups to assist (see next slide) and arrange their own and invite non-Group members as and when they see fit eg. To make event viable.

  6. Meetings • Our meetings have been mainly business with limited social opportunity. Change to: • Business meetings proposed to be held in Jan/Mar/May/Jul/Sep/Nov • Social meetings/visits to be held in even months with themes chosen by organising Group eg Menu del Dia, coach trip, beach party, walk, Caldero Day, theatre trip • Committee meetings in even months, odd months as required. Group Leader may ask to attend to raise an issue or submit and discuss a proposal

  7. Supporting • Raise SAMM and Group’s profile and PR within local community • Acquire SAMM assets that give benefit to the majority of our Groups . Final decision on asset to be acquired made by majority vote of Committee and all Group Leaders • Search for a 2nd Home ongoing, possibly on a step by step basis starting with storage for small number of boats

  8. Supporting (2) • Continue start up/ improvement loans to Groups, extend to shared boat ownership (SAMM/Group) to give more opportunities of “trial sails” by potential new sailors • Mutually supportive links to other expat organisations to extend social network and to attract new members

  9. Our 2011 Delivery Plan • Any changes in this presentation that are supported by a majority but require a Rules change will have a proposal raised to be voted on at the Jan 2011 AGM • Programme of practice, training and race days for 2011 published by 9th March 2011 • SAMM Civil Liability cover and FVRM or RYA membership to be in place by 9th March 2011

  10. Our 2011 Delivery Plan (2) • Framework plan of main social events published by 9th March 2011 • Joint SAMM/Individuals lease of minimum 4 extra boat storage spaces by 13th April • Hold “SAMM and our Groups” Open Day in May 2011
