It was decided to hold a regatta over Saturday 1^st and Sunday 2^nd with a series of outside and inside races.

Cruiser race information to be collated by Dave Cairncross and posted on the club web-site.

Boat registration form to be drawn up by Dave and Syd.

Sailing instructions to be posted on the web-site.

Advertising in the form of stickers, banners, leaflets, etc. to be produced to encourage racing at C.B.Y.C.

Kevin Rolfe suggested that a season’s fees could be paid as a lump sum which would generate a 10% discount. This was agreed by all those present

£25 for a long series i.e. Spring

£20 for the shorter i.e. Early Bird

£15 for an evening series.

The question of discards received a healthy airing and it was finally decided that a series with :-

1-3 races would have no discards

4-7 races 1 discard

8+ races 2 discards

It was felt that we had sufficient to continue, but it was felt that there might be a need to seek sponsorship or raise funds in other ways in the future.

For the time being we will rely on race fees.

Prize giving and a dinner at the end of the series

Iwan Basten gave some interesting input on some forth coming events which would include a talk on rig tuning

He agreed to post a list of events in the clubhouse

To be held on the second Wed of the month or when necessary.
