Announcement
Notification of proposal to enhance rules
governing wait lists for marine facilities
Dear Members,
親愛的會員:
In order to enhance the ease of transfer of marine facilities
(including swing moorings, pontoon moorings and hard
stands) at the Club, a proposal—to amend the current
approach to the rules governing the waiting list for marine
facilities—was tabled at the last General Committee meeting.
This was made following extensive consideration by the
Operations Committee—including consideration of member
feedback following the explanatory article previously published
in Hebe Jebes. After discussion, votes were counted—after
abstention of GC members whom would be directly affected
by this decision—and the proposal was confirmed by a
majority vote. Two decisions were made as below.
為了令本會海事設施（包括浮橋泊位、浮泡泊位和岸上泊
位）的轉讓程序更加方便，執行委員會在上一次會議提出
修改目前管理海事設施輪候的規則。海事執行委員會在較
早前於Hebe Jebes上刊登文章解釋有關事項後，收集到
各會員不同的意見，經過廣泛考慮，就此議題提出了一些
建議，並隨即進行投票，在所有受有關修改建議影嚮的會
員均投以棄權票之情況下，方案仍獲大比數通過。我們作
出了以下兩項決定：
1. It was decided to amend the waiting list and ‘grandfather
rights’ rules which apply to existing marine facilities as follows:
•
•
•
•
facilities transfer rights would be extended to all Members
holding a marine facility agreement with the Club , subject
to them currently having held a vessel at that facility for a
minimum period of not less than five (5) years;
facilities transfer rights would be extended to all Full
Members holding a marine facility agreement with the
Club, subject to them currently having held a vessel
at that facility for a minimum period of not less than
three (3) years;
facilities transfer rights could be extended, subject
to voting by the Operations Committee, to Members
whom warranted special consideration due to
circumstances of bereavement or relocation affecting
spouses and other recognised partnerships;
when an existing facility becomes free, the priority for
allocation will continue to be governed by the waiting list.
Note that in all cases, marine facilities may only be
held by Senior Associate, Corporate Nominee and Full
Members of the Club
2. It was decided that these changes would be communicated
to membership at the earliest opportunity, and that they would
not be enacted until a three-month consultation period had
occurred. During this time, the exact wording of any affected
Articles and Bye Laws would be finalised.
If you have any comments on the proposed enhancements,
please forward them to: [email protected] on or before 31
March 2015.
