Wednesday 18 July Exe Water Sports Association AGM and Parking
Please note that there is a 10k run starting from the quay this evening at 7pm. Parking may be difficult so allow extra time.
The Committee of ECC is strongly encouraging all members of ECC to attend the AGM of EWSA, on Wednesday 18th July at 7pm.
Following an emergency meeting of the Committee of Exeter Canoe Club (ECC), the committee wish to draw members' attention to their concerns that Exe Water Sports Association (EWSA) Committee has been failing in its responsibilities for some considerable time. This may have significant repercussions for the future of ECC, its premises and your membership.
EWSA is the umbrella organisation consisting of ECC, Exeter Rowing Club, Execalibre Dragon Boat Club and Exeter British Sub-Aqua Club. All these organisations, EWSA included, are run and led entirely by volunteers. As a member of ECC you are automatically a member of EWSA. EWSA committee has responsibility for paying the rent to the landlord, business rates, day-to-day property and pontoon maintenance, ensuring the requirements of the lease are met and renewing the lease. The lease is currently up for renewal. Please see the attached PDF.
ECC Committee have reservations regarding the way the EWSA committee has been operating and requires your support in addressing this issue. The ECC committee would like members to contribute to the discussion at the AGM regarding the onward structure and functioning of EWSA, and to show their support for the ongoing success of ECC and the other EWSA clubs. If we are not able to ensure that EWSA operates effectively it could lead to the the lease not being renewed, which would lead to the premises of EWSA and hence ECC being forfeit, leaving us without a central location, changing facilities, or boat storage.
We look forward to seeing you at the clubhouse on Wednesday 18th July at 7pm.
