Report of the General Meeting July 5th 2007

Brief Update .
Seventy people who have expressed an interest in joining the club
We have the provisional OK from the Cornish Pilot Gig Association to establish a club in Lyme
We also have provisional agreement from Lyme Regis Town Council to keep a gig behind building opposite the power boat club.
We have raised £1200 for the club, big thanks to Nigel Clarke for his help in securing a contribution of £1000 from Proctor and Gamble
We have longer term plans to build two pilot gigs for Lyme Regis
We have been out to tender to three boat builders. The Steering Group agreed to commission Lyme Regis Boat Building Academy opposite to undertake the build – subject to contract.
The aim is to commence the build of the first gig in September 07 and for the vessel to be completed by May/June 2008
The Total cost for each gig is in the region of £20,000 to include build, trailer, oars and associated kit.
The Gig Club is submitting grant funding applications to various parties.
There are plans to invite people to become a patron of the Gig Club (£500 for five years) and we are also interested in commercial sponsorship.
We are looking at merchandising
Initially we are looking for all members to pay a one off subscription of £15.00 to be a member.
When we commission the first gig we will invite members to pay an annual fee. Please take a look at the leaflet for details of proposed fees – based on rates paid at other clubs.
Once we have instructed Lyme Regis Academy to start work, we will have to start to think of a name for the Lyme Gig.
This will be interesting and we would like to invite you all to start to think of what she might be called. Please put ideas down on the back of the Gig Club Leaflet.
Fitness sessions up at Woodroffe School for Lyme Regis Gig Club. They have three rowing machines and we can negotiate some sort of club rate.
We are in the process of organising a mini bus trip to Weymouth for opportunity to row a gig, which is likely to be on the afternoon of Saturday August 11th 2007.
I trust this will wet the appetite of all of you who read this report and realise that we mean
