Is Your Club A NAMBA Registered Club?
By Al Waters
NAMBA Executive Secretary
Since my original article about registered clubs in the April 2013 edition of the
Propwash
, NAMBA increased from 58 registered clubs to 82. This was due mainly in
part because many members did not know that their club was not registered or club
officers were unaware of the process to become registered.
Below is the list all of clubs that have registered so far in 2014. If your club name is
not listed below, two things could happen. Your club name will not appear on your
NAMBA membership card in the future, and your club would not be able to secure site
insurance for its pond.
If your club is listed, thank your club officers that they are on top of things and are
doing a good job for its members. If your club is not listed, contact your club officers
and let them know. I have found that many members do not understand or were never
informed by their previous administration on what to do.
With the help of David Santistevan, our NAMBA I.T. Chairman, we have updated
the NAMBA web site
“Districts”
page with all registered clubs, their web sites if they
have one, and the sanctioned races for their particular district. If you do not have a web
site but want contact information listed, you will need to send me that information.
Preferably a name and an e-mail address. I consider this a privacy issue so I would
want your permission. E-mail me at namba@cox.net.
Thank you very much.
News and Notes From The Office
(Continued from page 17)
Double check that you have your correct
NAMBA number and club affiliation.
Then make note of any changes in the
Membership Notes box to insure that I
catch what changes or updates you have
made. Eventually, I will be able to
make those changes for you, however if
your information is correct now, it will
eliminate misstakes on my part in the
future.
You will see that there is a major rule
book update package with this
newsletter. Please pay close attention
when replacing the pages in your
NAMBA rule book. Tracy Osborne,
who handles the formatting and
updating of our rule book has gone to
great lengths to insure that the member-
ship has the latest and greatest. It is
NAMBA’s bible and insurance policy
so we work hard to insure that all
members are covered with the proper
information in hand.
Also included in your packet is a
voting proposal. Just one proposal but
just as important. Whether it has
anything to do with the type of boats
you run is not important. Exersizing
your right to vote is what is important.
We are all model boaters and should
support each others forms of
competition. Speaking of voting. If you
are a NAMBA member, you have the
right to vote. Full member, second
member of the same household, and yes,
junior members as well.
NAMBA registered club listings will
continue to be a regular article in the
Propwash.
I have always said if you
pick up one member as the result of
being a NAMBA registered club, that in
itself will more than pay for the $10.00
cost. Check to see if your club is
registered. I take pride in my
membership card that my club name is
printed on it.
That is it for now!
