The Christmas Tree Fund
Dear Members
Once again, we have had a busy and enjoyable year with numerous events held at the National Yacht Club.
These events have been extremely well supported by all of you and the staff have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and looking after you.
The size and popularity of these events are growing every year, and the staff have risen to the challenge in wonderful fashion and maintained the standards of which we are so proud.
The Staff Christmas Fund gives you an opportunity to show your thanks for the excellent work they do over the whole year.
There will be a staff Christmas fund box left in the bar and I would ask that you give generously.
This fund is divided and distributed to all the staff by way of a bonus.
May we take this opportunity to thank you all for the support over 2018, and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
From All the staff at the National Yacht Club
