Please check the diary and make sure that if you plan to race your name is down for a Race Officer Duty. Contact Ann Penny annpenny70@hotmail.com if you need including for a Sunday Duty.

Join in the fun of fund raising for a Charity probably close to most of us – Sail4Cancer < http://www.sail4cancer.co.uk> – so who will be this year’s Table FootBall Champions ? The Best Hula Hooper ?, as well as winning the Big Tombola Prizes

RACE MANAGEMENT
March 6/7th 2010 at Ripon sailing Club ( near Knaresborough) A Judges course designed for racing sailors with a good working knowledge of the Part 2 rules. Anyone interested in doing this training is encouraged to do the course even if they do not necessarily intend to be a regional judge. The course will be good experience for Club Protest situations and will give confidence.
