Conference Call Recap

Schedule - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_p8CF5t5ogkOqiN8-uAgsqXZeG-SekfNgm321p4TbqI/edit

Kitten Cup - It was decided to leave Kitten Cup on the schedule and if fleets such as Optis go then they will be scored and the rest wont.

McCurdy - The consensus was to try and move the regatta back to the Halloween weekend, Oct 28-29.  Cameron will check with SYC and SSP to make sure that works.

Website- Scott will check with Ray about getting access to the site to update.  Jack Toland- feel free to update as well.

New co-chairs - Michelle Labrie Ripple and Lorian Toland if she agrees.

New google group email list - https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/nwyrc  Please join soon.  The new list email is nw...@googlegroups.com

West Coast Sailing has offered to sponsor the youth circuit again this year.  Please make a point to mention West Coast Sailing in NORs, websites, announcements, and give them lots of business.  

Keep regattas cheap -  Try to keep entry fees as low as possible this summer.  Make t-shirts optional, provide housing, etc.  Lets get more kids sailing!

Please forward to anyone else who may want to join in on the call.  Topic is the 2012 NW Youth Racing Circuit.

The conference call is scheduled for 7:00pm tonight.  The call in number is  (559) 726-1000  and  Participant Access Code: 161819# 

Agenda

Schedule: (Click here for schedule, this is a google doc we can all modify during the call)

Kitten Cup - Back on the NWYRC schedule or not?  Conflicts with important high school regatta, so attendance will most likely be low.

McCurdy Cup - Is the proposed weekend the best one, or could we find a better weekend?  Attendance at this regatta has been diminishing, so finding a conflict free weekend is important.

Confirm dates, location, and contact for all other regattas.

Update the website- who? Jack Toland?

Appoint someone as NWYRC Chair - Any volunteers?  Should be someone familiar with nw youth racing.  Kyle Eaton? 

Create google group for future emailing.  

Any other changes or suggestions from last year?

Hope everyone can make the call tonight,

Scott
