The Racing & Sailing Sub-Committee met last weekend and made some proposals for changes to the Racing Calendar in 2011.

These proposals will be issued to all members by email today, but in the event that you do not receive them, please contact Lyndsay (either mail@avern.com or by phone 07979 395739) for a copy.

You are invited to make comment on these proposed changes to the Commodore and/or Secretary and/or Racing & Sailing Secretary by Friday 29th October 2010 if possible. All responses will be considered at the next Racing & Sailing Sub-Committee meeting.
