Due to the rapidly rising numbers of COVID 19 cases throughout Kent and the number of cases that arose after a recent local club gathering, the committee has decided that the MSBA quarterly business meeting, next Tuesday, 29 March 2022 will be a virtual ZOOM meeting. It is disappointing, especially after our excellent face-to-face AGM and business meeting at Rochester Cruising Club in November, but we look forward to holding a future business meeting at Queenborough Yacht Club as soon as the situation improves.

The Zoom link, agenda and minutes will be sent out by email to members shortly. If you don’t receive this in the next two days please email info@msba.org.uk with your contact details.

Invitations have been sent to all MSBA member clubs and partners for the Zoom meeting on Tuesday evening along with the agenda and minutes of the March meeting. If you haven’t received the emails, it could be that we don’t have your up to date contact details, in which case please send them to info@msba.org.uk.

Our AGM and quarterly business meeting will be held by Zoom on Tuesday 24 November at 7pm. Please ensure that your club or organisation is represented. Emails with agendas and minutes have gone out to all member contacts. If your club or organisation has not received an email please let us know your correct contact details.

Invitations have been sent to all MSBA member clubs and partners for the Zoom meeting on Tuesday evening. Another email has gone out with the agenda and minutes of the June meeting. If you haven’t received the emails, it could be that we don’t have your up to date contact details, in which case please send them to info@msba.org.uk.

It will not be possible to hold the MSBA Business Meeting at Medway Yacht Club, on Tuesday, 30 June 2020, due to the Government COVID-19 restrictions. So, we intend to hold the meeting as a ZOOM A/V Conference, same date and usual time: 19.00hrs. Invitations to register for the conference will be emailed to the MSBA member club representatives.

If you haven’t received an invitation to register by Friday 26 June 2020 and would like to take part, please email chairman@msba.org.uk

The invitation email will give full details for registering and joining the meeting, including telephone admission to the conference. Questions and answers will be managed using the ‘CHAT’ feature, bottom centre of the ZOOM screen on a laptop, or under ‘MORE’ top right on an IPad.  This enables you to type your question. Questions will be answered either at the end of an agenda item or at the end of the meeting. Full audio may be available, depending on numbers of participants.’  The meeting host will start the ZOOM meeting process at 18.30hrs to allow anyone who has not experienced the process before to sort out their connection.

Please note that the MSBA business meeting scheduled for 31 March has been cancelled for obvious reasons. The next meeting will be on 30 June at Medway Yacht Club, 7pm, viruses permitting.
