5. Members motions – None

6. Chair to thank all the volunteers
that have coordinated and guided the club over the past year especially those
that given up their time to run sessions for groups of 6 during lockdown. Many canoe clubs have ceased all activities during
this difficult time.
Members are reminded that volunteers
give their time freely to try and get as many people on the water as possible,
but we have been severely affected by the Covid 19 restrictions. Unfortunately, one or two demanding emails from
newer members has resulted in several of our volunteers withdrawing their time
and these sessions no longer take place resulting in even fewer paddling opportunities
for other members. Such unfriendly emails
are absolutely not in the spirit of the club. Alternatives exist if members want to pay for paddling
and private coaching from other establishments (https://www.liverpoolwatersports.org.uk/
or https://crosbylakeside.co.uk/ or
