The Dart Open is upon us 7th/8th July, about 6 weeks time!!! I am asuming that so far, nothing has been organised! I can`t think of any individual who would be willing to take on the role of organiser, but it needs to be done!. I cannot but my hand up as I will be heavily involved in the commisioning and start-up of a new plant at my works, and I will not have a minute (can`t even attend the open!)

I propose that everybody involved with Dart sailing at the beach do a little bit to help make it happen!!!………………..I think thats the best way probably for this year!

Areas needing attention are:-

Race Organisation & Rescue boat cover, Sailing Instructions, Prizes, Catering including the Bar, Entertainment……………..cant think of anything else at the moment!

If individuals are willing to take on a slice of the work, I think I could perhaps manage to do this bit, ie ensure we`ve got all the corners covered!…however I cannot do any of the WORK!

I`m sure that Jean Ann won`t mind if I mention that Dave will be postumously presented an award for his services and support of the Dart cause at the Nationals this week-end…….this partly why I`m writing this E-mail……..we should be doing our bit too!!!

Could you all make sure that everybody in the Fleet gets this e-mail.

Perhaps we could have a plan together for the week-end.

Thanks,

John
