Commodore's Notes - MEMBERSHIPS NUMBER REQUIRED ON BOAT STERN & EACH SIDE OF TRAILER

WRBC Members,

There still seems to be confusion and questions over why as a Boat Club Member you are required to have your Membership Numbers on the stern of your boat and each side of your trailer.

Please allow me to clarify, there are several reasons why this is a MUST, as we have explained numerous times.

1.    This will insure that your vehicle and trailer do not get towed at your expense for a cost of over $300.00.

2.    If you should happen to have the misfortune of having an emergency while on the water, we will be able to assist the authorities (Police/Coast Guard) with your name and a description of your boat.

3.    As a Member of the Whiting Robertsdale Boat Club, you are required by the By-Laws and Rules and Regulations to comply with this issue.  In other words, simply, if you are a Boat Club Member, you have to have these numbers on your stern and trailer.  No exceptions!!

We will continue to remind everyone at every meeting about this important issue.

Please help new members, if they have questions and need assistance.

Thank you,

Mike Hill
WRBC Commodore
