Can you spare a day or two in late December or early January to assist as a Race officer at SLMASC?

SLMASC have coordinated with MPASC to schedule a Yachting NSW Club Race Officer training course on Sunday 5th August 2012 for all members who are interested in and able to assist with conducting race events. This is particulary important given that SLMASC is hosting 2 National Title events in Dec’12 and Jan’13, and will be looking for all members who can spare a day or two to assist in conducting these important regatta’s. Hosting major regatta events is the major source of funding, so participation of members is crtical for the success of your club ….. and besides, you get to enjoy a few days out on the lake watching some top level racing. It’s a tough gig!

Assisting with Race Officer duties is a great way to get involved or stay involved in the sport and become an integral part of the club’s race management team, and quite simply without volunteers to assist in this capacity the club cannot conduct weekly racing activites or major regattas. So don’t let lack of experience hold you back, as full training is now available via this free Yachting NSW course. To register for the course, please follow the link below:

Course Type: Club Race Officer
Date: 5 August 2012
Time: 9:30am – 5:00pm
Cost: Free

If you are interested in becoming a qualified Race Officer, please advise the club at slmasc@hotmail.com and also complete your free course registration by Sunday 21st October.

We are also still seeking expressions of interest for Yacht starter/finshers for next season, so if you know of someone who may be interested in getting involved as a part time hobby, even on a shared roster basis, then they should be encoraged to attend this free training course too. Please email the club at slmasc@hotmail.com for further details re this position.

Please pass the word around ….. thanks.
