The AGM will be followed by an All-Chapters Awards Ceremony recognizing members’ cruising achievements and service to BCA, including the significant voyage of our very own Bill Norrie. We will also celebrate our connections and the wonderful support provided by BCA volunteers to each other, whether here in home port or cruising in distant waters. More to come on what will be a fun and celebratory evening!
BCA’s Board of Directors looks forward to hosting the evening; please show your commitment to the association by making every effort to attend and/or register your vote.
