DONATE TO UPGRADE CLUB FACILITIES NOWThis is an invitation to those who can afford and wish to contribute more than themembership fee to improve Club facilities. It’s also an opportunity for those whocan’t or don’t volunteer their time, to contribute by donation. Port Cygnet Sailing Club is run entirely by volunteers. It’s the largest volunteer runboating club in Tasmania. The Club runs a traditional racing sailing programme, aJunior and Youth learn to sail programme utilising a fleet of Club owned sailingdinghies and a rowing skiffs programme with two Club built and owned St AylesSkiffs which make it possible for people of all ages to get on the water for exerciseand social interaction. The Club has a long tradition of volunteering which keeps membership fees low.Membership fees are kept at a level that makes the club affordable for most boatingenthusiasts, but a low fees policy restricts the capacity for major upgrades andenhancements to facilities. Projects that are now on the table with volunteers ready to project manage include amajor upgrade to the floating pontoon which will increase tender dock capacity andenhancement of the outdoor seating area of the clubhouse by fitting flat timberdecking over the sloping paved area that fronts the water on the North side of thebuilding. The floating pontoon upgrade is underway and without donations will absorb most ofthe available cash for the coming year. The clubhouse decking project can only proceed at this time if this fundraisingcampaign is successful. The Club has a professional builder offering his skills nowto manage the project in a volunteer capacity and there are other volunteers offeringtheir labour. This is a great opportunity but needs the funds to make it happen.$25,000 is the budget for materials and furniture. See the artists impressionabove showing the area when decked over and lighting installed.Donations made via this fundraising page on the Australian Sports Foundation(ASF) site are tax deductible to the donor. ASF is a not for profit and retains 5% ofall donations to fund its operations. These “platform costs” can be paid by the donoras an extra donation or will be deducted from the donation amount.
