Quiz night fundraiser prizes and sponsors needed

Carolyn Crawford-Smith from BOP Coast Rowing

Quiz Night will be on Friday 23rd February. This is to help fundraise. As each year the club has expenses such as rates, mortgage repayments and interest, insurance, repairs and maintenance of boats, building, trailer and coach boats, subscriptions and licences to BOPRA to name just a few. These expenses are divided over the number of rowers to get an annual rowing fee. Additional costs are added to school rowers that include coaching expenses, fuel and regatta race fees for the club season. This year no allowance has been made in the rowing fees to buy new boats, oars etc but instead funds will be sought from grants and from our big annual fundraiser- the quiz night.

SO IF YOU CAN HELP WITH SPOT PRIZES OR CAN SPONSER US PLEASE LET US KNOW.
THANK YOU

Unelected commissioners recommend they stay in power

Pat from Welcome Bay

Interesting responses to my post. Two in particular piqued my interest. Suzanne Williams and her comments about whinging about everything-Suzanne it is not about whinging. It is more about raising concerns about an undemocratic regime forced on us and then seeing the commissioners wanting to keep their sinecure. Greg Reardon "I vote to keep the commissioners"-Greg the point is that you do not have a vote. Look I get it-democracy is imperfect. Some of our previously elected councillors were rubbish-ego driven and feeding from the trough (not unlike our commissioners). But it is what we have got. It is better to have an imperfect democracy than an unelected and unaccountable cartel of commissioners who say "we know what is good for you".
