RACE OFFICER VACANCY - MEMBERSHIP OFFER

After several years John Boorman has decided to give up his role as club race officer so he can do more sailing. There is therefore a vacancy for a volunteer to take over the role of club race officer. This involves a commitment to do at least 10 duties a year (often including major club events). Free membership will be offered to a suitable candidate. We also require race recorders to join the existing team who would also be willing to commit to no fewer than 10 duties and would be able to go on the Committee Boat. If you are interested please contact Sally in the office for more details.
