Duration: Maximum 30 minutes

Agenda:

1. Voting on proposal to increase IM24CA membership fee

Proposal:

To increase the IM24CA membership fees from 100 Euro by 10% to 110 Euros to be effective since January 1^st, 2023.

Reason:

We have been considering options on how we might strengthen the finances of IM24CA so that we can encourage greater participation in the International Melges 24 Class and ensure the class has a healthy future.

The membership fees have remained at the same level for the past five years since 2016, so after due consideration we propose that we increase the membership fees from 100 Euro by 10% to 110 Euros. This means that we will have the funds to increase the marketing budget for photo/video coverage for more of our events for example and ensure all our members receive compelling images to keep as mementos of their competitive sailing.
