Birkenhead Radio Sailing & Power Club
This is the meeting where decisions need to be made and voted on.
Due to a lack of response the ND Workshop set down for this Saturday 10/8/13, has regrettably been cancelled.
A IOM non-club championship race day will take place with a standard 2pm sharp start time.
Lake Clean Up
This coming Saturday, 15/6/13, 10am
Our Club Captain Jim Findlay and his team have made a great job of the Club House and now in readiness for the upcoming IOM Ranking Race as a group we need to make sure that all is spot on to put on the best possible event. We need as many members as possible to make this happen, so we would ask that all members please be at the Club House from 10am prior to IOM racing from 2pm.
It’s your club.
This is the final call for any club members wishing to event the event to do so through either the MYA online system or to contact Brad directly with an official entry. Do not expect just to show up on the day unannounced as you may be disappointed.

IOM Ranking
This year we are hosting a National IOM 2 day Ranking Race over 22nd and 23rd June and will require skippers not planning on racing to assist in organising this event to properly reflect that of the countries number one league club. The racing is counted as 2 separate race days, so if you wish to sail only the one day and help on another, this is possible. Entries for this event will need to be made through the official MYA means by either online or yearbook. Look for online entry to open in early March on the MYA website. Anyone able to offer assistance, please contact Brad, or a member of the sailing committee.
RM Ranking
We are hosting a National RM Ranking Race on Sunday 4/8/13 and have grouped this with a Saturday RM club race to attract greater numbers of travelling skippers. We will promoting this within the MYA as two days of RM racing to show this as being the way forward for the class, both on a racing an social level that justifies the expense of travel.
ND Workshop
The Birkenhead club, on behalf of the Northern District will be hosting a Workshop/Tuning Day on 10/8/13. We anticipate having to limit places for this and will be prioritising available spaces to Northern District members initially. More details to follow when they come to hand, but if you’re in the North and want tips from the likes of Roberts, Elliott, Walsh and Gibson, put this date in your diary.
