Royal Naval Club and Royal Albert Yacht Club: About Us

Organisation

The Management of the Club is vested in an Executive Committee consisting of the Chairman, Vice Chairman and Commodore and not more than ten other members. All are elected at an AGM and may hold office for a maximum of three years and may if they wish serve for a further three years before standing down.

The Chairman as the senior member of the Club chairs the Executive Committee which in turn appoints a Management and Finance sub committee and any other sub committee that from time to time may be required. The Commodore chairs the Sailing Committee and nominates members of his committee for confirmation by the Executive Committee. The sub committees meet monthly and the Executive Committee every quarter. All Applications for membership to the Club are vetted by members of the Executive Committee as the need arises. A full copy of the Rules of the Club can be obtained from the Secretary on request.
