    All

    Fleets

    Laser: training session in 2018. Simon tried to organise, but there was limited interest

    Aero has email group and may set up face book group. Other fleets to consider similar

    Aero fleet is growing. We will have a stand alone aero open

    RS200: open wont be combined with another class

    RS200: Winter series was a success and will be repeated in 2018/19

    Put effort into further growing RS200 fleet through targeted advertising

    Solo/Streaker open



    RS400/Phantom Open: There was discussion to combine RS200 and RS400 open, but not many in favour.

    Phantom open was poorly attended. RS400 open is unlikely to attract large number of participants because local fleet is small

    Simon B to gather interest in 2019


    Fleet captains to consider
