Dear Members,
As every year, we are now preparing the next Annual
General Meeting, which is to be held on Sunday, 21st September 2025 at 11am at
the clubhouse.
This is where the Officers of the club are elected,
committee members chosen and any issues discussed. Active members’ participation
continues to be vital for the running of our club, your voice should be heard
and you are therefore cordially invited to join us on this important date.
This message has also been e-mailed to you, together with
a copy of the AGM Invitation booklet.
As always we are also looking for additional volunteers to
help in various roles with running the club - if you would like to be nominated
for any post, please add your name to the list available on the noticeboard in
the clubhouse or speak to a committee member.
After the meeting regular club sailing will commence.
We very much look forward to seeing you at the AGM!
Best regards,
MNSC
General Committee

Blue-green
algae -
avoid contact with the lake water
Especially in warmer weather, bloom and scum forming blue-green
algae can produce toxins. These are
quite normal
occurrences in nature but can be harmful to some wild animals and most domestic
pets. In humans, they have been known to cause rashes after skin contact and
illnesses if swallowed. Not all blue-green algae blooms and scums are toxic, but
you can’t tell just by looking at them, so it’s best to assume they are.
People and pets therefore should not come into contact with lake water
where algae are present (on or near the shore) to
protect their health.

Boat insurance offer
We now have an agreement with Noble Marine, a boat insurer, that the club acts
as an ‘Introducer’ for this company, whereby the club receives a small
commission for every new business concluded through our introduction. In this
way you can help the club to get some extra money, but the contact to Noble MUST
go via our
website link or the QR code in the advert.
MNSC does not, of course, wish to influence your decision
of whom you insure with, but if you are considering Noble Insurance, please
enquire/book through the
link,
because every penny counts!
