2012/13 Season Kickoff – AGM at the Pub.

El'Nino is coming this summer....according to BOM...

Yeah but can he gybe? And what gear will he be riding?

Super idea holding the AGM in middle of winter, at night in a location even most Sydneysiders will have a long trip to. Much better than the pre 2011 method of holding the AGM at the last regatta where most sailors were present. That just led to all & sundry listening & piping up with their opinions & then voting on matters concerning the series which were, strictly speaking, matters purely for Stormriders. I mean, just because you support the series doesn't mean you have a say in how it is run.

I hope you booked a large room to cope with a massive turnout of Stormriders willing to travel across town to exercise their democratic rights.

This meeting will be heaps better than the old one under the tree at Hawks Nest. Guaranteed to discourage the unrepresentative swill, stop those pesky Marmongers & Illawarras having their say, god knows they never said anything useful anyway. They can just like it or lump it. I personally will try to attend (promise not to say anything) although a 3 hour trip for the pleasure of listening but not voting is a bit daunting...maybe too daunting now that I think on it. I am sure the wise heads of Stormriders will work everything out fine without the likes of me & everyone else who finds it inconvenient. Really, the fewer there the easier it will be.

PS, don't put the results up on the web till just before the new series starts if at all, we love a surprise.

Now, who put those angry pills in Uncle Bruce's afternoon cup of tea?

Bruce, you are right the overall results are not under the "result" tab, but they were posted the day after the last even in the top news section for heat7 on the event web page above...

I never noticed they were not in both parts of the web page, I guess i was just happy getting them up so quickly on the news page.....

I'm always happy for people to sent friendly reminder emails or posts if we don't get everything right in a timely fashion....

If you ask me north of the bridge makes a nice change from all the driving to meetings over the years. Might even get a cab and beer on a little.

Just a reminder to everyone that the AGM is on next week. 7pm at the Rag and Famish at Nth Sydney. Its a short walk from the train station or bus stops.

Ben 55555,
I can report, from my exclusive sources, that the new El Presidente is Ricardo, that slalom has been re-introduced to the series, that there will be 8 series regattas this year and non Stormriders will be prohibited from helping with the boats. Regatta fees will be increased for non members and the national anthem played at every briefing.

Don't be impatient, the full minutes of the meeting, including who attended, will be published here & on the Stormriders site within 24 hours.

Pleased to see so many events north of Sydney a few of us up in Qld are hoping to get to as many races as possible
