<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just a couple of quick
things...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) We need a
couple more people to be able to enter 2 full teams in the Canberra
Teams Championship this Saturday 13th from 0830 to around 1700 (BBQ dinner at
1830) if you want to compete let me know ASAP. Entry is free as the club
will cover it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) This Sunday
at 1pm there will be a free BBQ at the clubhouse. This is during the
beginners courses but all are welcome. This is a good chance to meet the
new club members to organise people to sail with.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Reminder
about the AGM coming up NEXT week. Get those nominations for committee positions
in.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN lang=EN-AU><FONT face=Arial size=2>4) Because
people have been asking about event dates and details below they are
nicely organised into categories such as Social Events, Racing
etc.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

is to drive down to Tuross Heads on the south coast (2.5hr drive) on Friday
night and car camp at a caravan park which is just metres from a surf beach and
10 minutes walk to the shops. With a surf beach and sheltered lakes it is an
ideal location for sailing, kayaking, surfing or just relaxing on the beach. On
the Saturday night there will be the traditional BBQ and beach party.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn to race however there is no compulsion
to race and you could just go sailing with the added safety of rescue boats.
There is no cost since it is paid by the ANUSC.</FONT></SPAN></P>
