Four (4) Resolutions ReachedThe establishment of a yacht club in Barbados was discussed and as a result, four resolutions were proposed.
First Resolution
Second Resolution The second resolution was pertinent to membership fees when it was decided upon that for the first year ending September 30th, 1925, fees would be a fixed amount of $12.00 for gentlemen and ladies and their children would be free.
Approval also came for "any gentleman member be entitled to allow the lady members of his family residing under his roof to enjoy the privileges of the club without any additional fee."
Third Resolution The third resolution considered an agreement between the British Union Oil Company and Captain Bowring for the lease of the property known as Shot Hall. It was later agreed that the agreement should be sent to Mr. Herbert Sealy for careful consideration.
Fourth Resolution The fourth resolution comprised of a constitution and a set of rules for the club. It was agreed that until a copy of the constitution and rules of both the Royal Bermuda and Royal Jamaica Yacht Clubs had been received for guidance in the preparation of "our constitution the rules of the Savannah Club should govern as near as possible."
