Prompt starts to racing in 2010

The sailing captain and committee are once again re-iterating the importance of starting the racing on-time. This year all OOD's should endeavor to start races as scheduled (weather permitting) even if there are limited numbers of sailors ready. In this event the OOD has the option to run a short first race, where competitors who are ready on-time have a good opportunity to pick up a good result. For more information, please contact the sailing captain

Following the recent ratification (at the EGM) of the proposal to amend the membership categories, the club diary is now in print and will be available to members by the end of February.
