Windsurfing SA is holding a meeting to review the last season and plan the new one. What events worked, what didn’t, plans for State titles etc.

If you can’t get along, PM us with your ideas and I’ll present them at the meeting
When: 8 pm Tuesday 30 March 2010
Where: Kingston House, Cameron Ave. Kingston Park (the big old house in the reserve)

Marathon Postponed
March 1, 2010Weekend 27-28th Feb
Looks like it will be blasting in from the SE all weekend, with a bit a swell in the gulf too. Great for wave-sailing at Sellicks, but no good for the marathon.
This weekend was the last roll of the dice for this event – it’s a long weekend next weekend with everyone away, and the boys with the rescue boats have been very kind but need to get on with their lives. So we will have to put the idea on hold till next Spring when a SW is a dead cert. Thanks to all those who put in to get the idea moving forward. Looks like we may have pushed our luck too far scheduling it for early Feb.
The boys and girls at Windsurfing SA will get together soon and make plans for events for next season. Thanks to everyone who ran or attended an event this season. We have had some hits and some misses. Always looking to improve the stoke factor. Maybe a format where events are held on, say, the first Sunday of the month regardless, with the venue and format to be decided by conditions? Any feedback welcome.
Regards,
Richard for Windsurfing SA
