Yachting TAS General Meeting and Club's Membership of Australian Sailing

This note is to advise TAS clubs of the outcome of the General Meeting held on Saturday 25th July 2020, where clubs were asked to vote on a Special Resolution to deregister the Tasmanian Yachting Association Inc.

The resolution was PASSED with all votes cast in favour.

As a result of this:

• Yachting TAS will cease to exist
• Clubs will need to apply to become Members of Australian Sailing
• A TAS Regional Advisory Committee of Australian Sailing will be established
• Yachting TAS surplus assets will be transferred to Australian Sailing
   

Actions required by clubs:

The affiliation structure of Sailing in Tasmania has now changed. The Corporations Act will not allow a clubs membership of Yachting TAS to be automatically transferred to Australian Sailing Ltd. To facilitate this change clubs are required to complete a simple online process to formally apply for membership of Australian Sailing.

Deregistration of Yachting TAS will come into effect when confirmation of deregistration is received from the Commissioner of Corporate Affairs.

In order for your clubs members insurance to remain current, Clubs are encouraged to complete this process ASAP.
