Is the Florida Footy Website dead?

[Bill Nielsen]

Hi Butch,

I'm just wondering since nothing has been posted there for a while if
the Florida Footy Website is dead or abandoned? Also, maybe it's just
me, but I don't find the Google groups (or Facebook either, for that
matter) to be nearly as useful & well done, or as user friendly as the
Yahoo groups.

Hi Bill:
No this site is not dead or abondoned.
I think there is just a lull due to the next FFF series beginning in
Nov.
I also think we are all awaiting the outcome of the recent ballots for
the sail rule change.
I noticed the Yahoo USA Footy group is experiencing a bit of a lull
also.
I agree that Yahoo may have a few more options and be more user
friendly.
This this is the second attempt at a message board for the FFF series.
I would hate to ask every one to swap yet another time but if enough
people showed an interest in doing that I will.
I recently cancelled my account with Facebook after receiving a virus.
It was an easy decision due to sharing your opinion of it's actual
usefullness.

The Titusville group will be hosting a Footy Regatta on October 3rd.
We did this to break up the space between the ending of the last
series and the beginning of FFF4.
This has been the longest span without a footy regatta since we began.
I am looking forward to the next event, seems like a long dry spell.
A lot of clubs have Footy skippers that are Snowbirds and would have
missed some of the events if we
started in Sept. So we voted to wait till November to begin.
The event will be hosted by the Tanglewood group in Sebring.

regards
Butch
