3. ANUSC Club Sailing Day - Saturday 24 March - 12.00 noon till late
Saturday is another opportunity to get down and join in the sailing fun at the Boat Shed. YMCA races are on for anybody who wants to compete (email me and come down at noon so I can get you organised). Plus social sailing all afternoon and a free BBQ. At 6pm we are holding the AGM, followed by a Shed party.  

Do you want to have a bigger say on the future direction of our club? What boats would you like to sail? What trips would you to do? What regattas would you like to race in?

Nominate for a position on the committee (there's a list of positions below).
