Dear all,

I hope you have all seen the recent newsletter about the exciting news of the 5.5 book currently under way and I do hope that you will all consider helping the production.  I can confirm that we have received the first pledges and hope that if you haven’t already, you will consider completing the pledge form and sending it to our Treasurer Simon Pfandler. Thank you in anticipation. More details here.

We are clearly going through difficult and unprecedented times but I do feel there are some subjects that we need to communicate within the Class and to this end I would like to call a 5.5 meeting with the President or Representative of each Country on Thursday 25th March at 7.30 pm UK time. In an ideal world this would be an AGM, but I am nervous of managing what could potentially be a large meeting on Zoom, so I will call it simply a 5.5 Metre General Meeting.       

If any member of the 5.5 Metre class has anything they would like to raise at the meeting, please could they communicate directly with their country President.  If any President or Representative has anything that they would to have added to the agenda, please can they submit it to me by 28th February.  

If a President or Country Representative is unable to make this meeting, they are able to nominate a third party.  

I will send out an agenda and supporting documents three weeks before the event to everyone, again giving time for communication back to your President.  
  
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards
Louise
