From the Commodore

Welcome past Commodores, Honorary Life members, Veteran members, members and guests

The days are getting longer, and to help prove that, this weekend, the 28th September, is NZ Daylight Savings Time Changeover. Clocks will go forward 1 hour.

The Clubs proposed New Constitution Draft has been circulated via email for feed back, and comments. First draft reviews are being undertaken with the next version out shortly, following a legal review, so it will hopefully be ready for presentation at the AGM.

SGM

A Special General Meeting is to be held on Sunday 5th October, re Zane and Kat Milne, and advance notice has been sent to all members.

2025 MCC AGM

The date has been set for Sunday 12th October, 2-4pm, and the Opening Day will follow on Saturday 18th October.

Travel Lift

This has been out of action for the last week whilst new steel cables, and other maintenance work was carried out, to ensure it passed its WOF. A huge thanks to Ted Coates for stepping in and helping the club out over this. We are now back in operation, so get your bookings in for the pre-summer cleaning and anti-fouling.

Noumea Return Trip

Bruce Paulsen is looking for assistance to help bring his yacht back from Noumea to Picton, the on to Mana, in late October or early December at the latest, and it is anticipated this is an 8 day trip. Airfares are included to Noumea. Looking for 2 people with sailing experience preferred, so contact Bruce on Brucepaulsen11@gmail.com or 021467277

Always happy to discuss any items personally with members at their leisure.

Credit Card Payments
Our Credit Card payment gateway provider has finally tracked down the issue affecting Mastercards and this problem has now been resolved

Please visit the Member's Portal https://manacc.nz to make a credit card payment - any payment to the club can be made through this facility.

As this is a portal for members only, registration ensures only current members can view the information. When you register, the system will check your membership number and email address exist in our membership database. If they do, you will be granted access immediately. If you get a message that you cannot register, please get in touch via email to support@manacc.nz

Cards, Flags and Stickers
If you have paid, these can be collected from the office or the bar. If you need them mailed to you, please contact Denise in the office.
