PLEASE REGISTER NOW!
Steve Andrews has offered more Feva coaching this year.
The dates are: 6-7 December
You can do as few or as many days as you like, but you need to register for each weekend separately. Both helm and crew need to register separately, and you must indicate on the form with whom you are sailing.
We will not be sorting out pairings, so if you aren't sure who you will be sailing with, please ask on the Feva WhatsApp group (ask the Cadet skipper to join) before registering.
There is a limited number of club Fevas available to hire; priority will be given to sailors who haven't hired Fevas before. Please indicate on the form if you need to borrow a Feva.
Guests need to register separately
Exact starting and finishing times will be advised beforehand
Registration for each session closes 5 days beforehand, and cancellations are accepted until registration closes.
Priority for cadet training events
Please make a bank transfer before the event using the reference 'Invoice number'

RYA Connected Workshop, run by Robbie Bell, East Regional Manager.
The RYA are running a series of face-to-face workshops throughout the East Region as part of their Connected series. Starting at the end of January, these evening sessions are open to clubs and other RYA affiliated organisations. This is an opportunity to meet locally to discuss some of the key challenges you have told us you're facing and would like to explore further.
Please do bring more than one representative where possible, to make the most of the opportunity.
Each evening will start at 7pm to enable people to arrive after work, however we would like to invite you to join us from 6pm, should you wish to, to give us more of a chance to chat and network. We will aim to finish by 9:15pm. Refreshments will be included.
