Each year we form a Committee at our Annual General Meeting to actively manage the club, its facilities plus sailing and social events. Any LYC member can be elected onto the committee at the AGM.

If you can spare some time to support the group with new ideas and ways of working you can help us improve and evolve the club. Contact a committee member or email secretary@lochaber-yacht-club.co.uk for more information

The committee meet on the first Tuesday of each month and minutes can be found in the members’ area of the website.
