WCOA - SAILING PROGRAMME FOR 2009 SEASON           


 2009 Programme:  Your Committee's preparation's for the 2009 sailing season Programme are complete and the final programme is shown below.  The Racing and Cruising Secretaries extend their thanks to the many Members who gave their time and input into making the 2008 programme a success.

Almanac: Details of the sailing programme will be included in the next Spring issue of the Wanderer Magazine during early May with full details, Almanac and event application slips being included. 
To download a copy of the 2009 Almanac in pdf format click here.

Please support your Class Association by attending as many events as you are able. If you have any queries or concerns please discuss these directly with the listed organiser.
 

Every reasonable effort will be made to avoid conflicts within the Sailing Programme. However given the number of events, the reliance [in some instances] on suitable tides, availability of some venues and of course the time and involvement of the volunteer organiser it is not always possible to avoid clashes between some events.  The Committee hope that this will not detract from the overall scope, variety and enjoyment of the 2009 Sailing Programme.
The Committee would like to extend it's thanks to those Members and others who have, once again in 2009, volunteered to help organise our extensive sailing programme.  We are always seeking new cruise / racing organisers and venues, if you feel able to assist in either of these rewarding activities or have any comments or suggestions please contact either Mike Hamilton or David Davies respectively for racing and cruising.  Terry Pullen Web Site Manager Jan 29th 2009
