Cruiser Racing

1 July 2010	Christmas Party
	This years Cruiser Racing Christmas Party will be on Saturday 11th December. Make a note in your diaries now! This will include the presentation of prizes for the two Tuesday evening series, the Spring series and the Frostbite series. The format of the evening in terms of food and entertainment are as yet undecided. If you have a view on what you would like to happen then join the discussion on the forum.


29 June 2010	Cruiser Racing Forum
	There seems to have been quite a lot of email discussion of various aspects of the cruiser racing recently. In order to open this up to the whole of the Clubs cruiser racing fleet and not just the random few on the email list, I've opened up a forum on the website. This forum can only be visited by Club members and registration is required. The purpose of the forum is for general discussion and should not be used as an alternative to formal communication with your Race Committee or the Council of Management. Although nicknames can be used as user names, all users must reveal their real names. The forum may only be used for the discussion of cruiser racing and not for any other Club related topics. You can register here or from the option on the menu bar above and I'll email you when your registration is successful!

	There will be a meeting for owners/helms on Wednesday 4th November at 2030 to discuss the draft proposals for next years racing. These can be seen here


13 October 2009	Shanghai and Nimrod Cups 2010
	Here is the letter from the Commodore regarding next year event


1 October 2009	Shanghai and Nimrod Cups 2010
	Yes, Shanghai and Nimrod Cups 2010 already. There will be a meeting asap after racing on Sunday 25th October in the Clubhouse to discuss next years event. All owners and helms are urged to attend. Further information will be posted here in the next week so please check often.


31 July 2009	Prize givings
	Prizes for the Spring Series, the Club Regatta and both Tuesday Evening Series will be given out asap after racing on Tuesday 18th August. A hot buffet will be available.


22 April 2009	Race Management
	At the meeting last Sunday the fleet was made aware that there were races scheduled for which there was no race management provision in place. From within the newly trained Race Officers, Syd Thomas and other voluntees it is hoped that most of the races will take place. A new Race Management link on the website will be maintained and will include uptodate lists of Race Officers and Mark Layers. A set of Race Officer equipment will be stored in the Clubhouse.


15 April 2009	Race Management
	There will be a meeting of owners/helms after racing this Sunday to discuss future race management. It is important that as many of you as possible attend.


5 April 2009	Spring Seies Race 1
	Well, the series got off to a fairly poor start with no boats inclined to complete the course. Anyway, a special welcome to all the boats that entered the series and welcome also to those that just turned up!


3 April 2009	Spring Series
	The good news for sportsboats was the sudden last minute surge in entries on Thursday. There will be a sportsboat fleet after all.


31 March 2009	Spring Series
	No sooner has the Earlybird Series finished than the Spring Series starts. First race on Sunday 5th April at 1445. Boats will be allocated to fleets based on entries received by your race officer on Thursday night. So far we only have two Sportsboat entries.


24 March 2009	Earlybird Presentation
	The prizes for the Earlybird series will be presented as soon as possible after racing on Sunday. Hopefully there will be some sandwiches available and the bar will be open.


2 March 2009	An Apology
	I had a phone call and an email from the Club office today with an overdue updated list of whose paid for racing so far. As a result of this boats previously disqualified have been reinstated. The Office apologise to Peter Gamble of Forebitters, Ben Redwood of Duck n'Jybe and Geoff Parr of Jonah for their omission in this respect.


2 March 2009	Race Fee Payment
	There seems to be some confusion about race fee payment. One of the rules is that if my records show payment is not received within two weeks of your first start then you will be disqualified from all races until you do. You can see my records by clicking on the 'Whose paid' link above. If you think they are wrong then you need to do something!


2 March 2009	Race Management
	For Race 4 and for most of the remaining races in the Earlybird series you will be racing with new Race Officers. Yesterday you listened to Tim Lowe and others follow in weeks to come. I know you will give them all your support as they take on that role.


6 February 2009	Earlybird Series
	A total of 14 boats have entered the series, 7 each in the PY and IRC fleets. There is only one sportsboat entered which will not be racing and so there will be no sportsboat fleet. Only five boats have so far paid for the year ahead, one of them kindly not availing themselves of the �15 discount. Dont forget that if you dont pay within two weeks of your first start then previous race results will be lost. See you Sunday!


26 January 2009	Rugby
	There is a 6 Nations game on after racing on the 8th Feb. If there is sufficient interest a curry or something could be made available at the Club for consumption before the game. If you are interested then contact me to let me know how many and what you'd like.


5 January 2009	Earlybird Series
	The Race Card for the Earlybird series is now published. At the risk of getting boring I feel I must emphasise that it is agreed that all boats racing in the IRC fleet must provide a copy of a valid certificate before being recognised as competitors.


2 January 2009	Happy New Year
	Well, here we go again. I've started putting up some documents for the 2009 Club series racing in the 'Notices of Race, Sailing Instructions and other information' section above. I started with the NoR.
