Dear OMRA Member
You are cordially invited to attend the 2018 Offshore Model Racing Association Annual General Meeting. As a member of the Association, this is your opportunity to make your vote count in how OMRA is run going forward.
You are encouraged to review the OMRA rule book which can be found by clicking HERE in respect of submissions for rule changes, venues/dates, and election of Officers of Association.
Those members wishing to submit proposals for new rules or rule changes should acquaint themselves with section 8 of the rule book. Proposers are also strongly encouraged to float their ideas in the Members-only Facebook Group in the form of a poll, in order to both promote their proposals and to gauge the likely level of support. (Please contact either the OMRA Webmaster or one of the Facebook Group Admins to assist you if you are not sure how to set up a poll).
As was thge case at last year's AGM, a buffet lunch will be provided. It would therefore be very much appreciated if you could please indicate your intention to attend and whether you will be bringing a guest or not so arrangements can be made for catering.
Below you will find the Agenda for the AGM as required by rule 7.2, to be circulated no less than 30 days prior to the meeting.
