By Karl Pountney, on 30th June, 2010 Category: General News | The Solo Open is due to take place on the 10th of July with the first race commencing at 11am. There are a couple of important points regarding this event:
- In some listings the event is billed as the Solo and Streaker Class Open. This is a error and due to there having been a recent Nationals at the club, there will be no streaker open event this year.
- We are looking for a suitably experienced race officer and assistant to oversee the on-the-water activities. If you are interested in taking this on please contact Karl Pountney as soon as possible.
