Web Site: Jeremy, Lorna and Graeme have liaised with members across the disciplines as to their needs.  A software package has been identified called ‘Go membership’ that could accommodate the various requirements of PSKC.  It will cost £35 per month and 2.9% + 20p on each transaction that goes through the system.  The board has decided to move ahead with the system after some further discussion with the Rowers.  Jeremy
