The Friends provides significant financial and practical support to MCSBC throughout the year. However, activities are focused around three events:
Annual MCSBC fund-raising event (held in March)
Midsummer Regatta (held on the last Saturday afternoon in June)
Social Event (held on the last Saturday evening of January)
The events are intended to be fun and social as well as raising funds for the club.
Grants of funds are made regularly to support the activities of MCSBC. The AGM minutes give details of the most recent donations.
Donations to the Friends of MCSBC are eligible for Gift Aid. A Gift Aid declaration needs to accompany such donations. A copy of this declaration is available here.
If you are interested in becoming more involved with individual Friends functions or the Committee, please e-mail Dan Cowton and he will pass this onto the Friends' Committee.
