Events Coming Up
There are a few open events coming up in the near future, with one being a major national event.
The Optimist Class are holding their Winter Championships at Carsington on 17 and 18 November 2018. The Club racing will be cancelled for that weekend and general sailing will encounter a very busy site. We anticipate in excess of 150 competitors and maybe up to 200. Optimist sailors are generally under 15 yrs. so will turn up with parents etc.
This will be great to see a major event in action.
There is a lot of work to be done to prepare for this prestigious event and we will probably need a lot of help on the weekend in a lot of roles such as
• safety boat driver
• safety boat crew
• mark laying
• committee boat team
• Gate and parking control.
• Foreshore launching, recovery and trolley moving
• Cleaning mucky foot marks.
• Others we haven’t thought of yet.
We will wait to see what the Optimist class want us to get involved in but in the meanwhile if you want to get involved we will leave a sheet in the office so do put your name down with a note of the skills you can offer (power boat, medical etc.) and your preferences.
You can email me if you don’t get into the office. Phil Munton and Tony Nicholson and myself will sort out the roles when we get nearer the time and we have spoken with the Oppie class.
