Hello RS800 Sailor
AGM Minutes, Nationals Round Up, and General Update
The minutes from the RS800 2014 AGM are up at:
http://www.rssailing.org/docs/RS800%202014%20AGM%20minutes.pdf
Please take a good read of the minutes:
If you were there you may well have agreed to do something - I have put your name in the right hand action column for easy reference. I look forward to hearing where you've got to with your task...
If you were unable to attend the Nationals please take a good look anyway because the class has really got it self together and is working hard to move to greater fleet strength for 2015. It would be great if you could get involved and share the buzz...
Don't forget that RS800 National Champion 2014 Roger Phillips' excellent full report from the Nationals is up with full results and prizes awarded at:
http://uk.rs800.org/indexdetail.asp?selection=ResultsDetail&evid=3180
The super report written by Luke and Emma McEwen for day one is below Roger's report.
Tom Gruitt's great photos of day two and three can be seen at: www.tom-gruitt.co.uk
You can buy copies of his smashing photos from his website.
Your outgoing Chair Toby Wincer designed a super t-shirt for the Nationals this year. Unfortunately the 100 t-shirts did not arrive until nearly the end of registration so not all of you were able to take up the opportunity to buy one easily. Here is another opportunity! I have re-opened the t-shirt on the website shop and on the online entry form for the Inlands.
The cost is £5 per t-shirt available in small, medium, large and extra large. The sizing is generous. I will post your t-shirt out to you for £6.50 (ie that includes P&P). I will take the remainder to the Inlands.
I've sent a hand written thank you to the staff at Plymouth Youth Sailing and the Mount Batten Centre who looked after us so well at the Nationals. They were delighted to host such a smashing fleet! Thanks everyone for making it such fun for me too!
Looking forward to next year's nationals at Castle Cove SC 19-23 Aug 2015 already!
Once I've got the RS800 2015 calendar formally published this autumn I will be turning my thoughts to 2016. Please contact me with ideas for events and venues, especially somewhere for your Nationals.
Please keep up the chat on the forum and RS800 Facebook page!
Why not post onto youtube your GoPro sailing adventures?
Please drop me a line with any ideas or feedback on how I can better serve your fleet on [email protected]
In the meantime very happy sailing of your RS800!
Cheers
Clare
