Race Officer Course

Hi Members,

The RO Course has had to be curtailed and will now run on Saturday only, from 10.00 a.m until 5.00 p.m. The content and online certificate are unaffected. Sunday was to be an opportunity to put the theory into practice but not enough boats were available.
Don’t forget a packed lunch!
Participants will need a copy of the Rules of Racing or can share, plus something for taking notes.
David Lovegrove will have his presentation on a memory pen and will make it available for anyone who wants to copy it afterwards.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday.
Regards
Charlie

Survey on Water Borne Infection – please contribute

Dear Member,

We are researching infections that are possibly associated with recreational use of open water. We want to hear from you about your awareness of, or any previous experience of such infection that you may have had. This research is being carried out by the Public Health Bathing Water Group of the Health Service Executive (HSE).

Participation is voluntary and all responses are anonymous.

This will take 5 – 6 minutes and to thank you for taking part there is a chance to win a prize of €150 One4all gift voucher. If you wish to enter this draw, you will be asked for your e-mail address. Please note that e-mail addresses will not be shared with any 3rd parties, are not linked to responses and will only be used for the purposes of the prize draw.

Your anonymous feedback will be used to help us to get a better understanding of the burden of illness with the intent of producing health advice to minimise this risk.

If you have questions at any time about the study, please feel free to contact the principal investigator Dr Katharine Harkin by email at: katharine.harkin.

Race Management Course

Hi All,

Would anyone who intends to do the Course next weekend, please register at the following link:

https://www.sailing.ie/product/local-race-officers-course-lough-swilly-yacht-club-5719/

The ISA have informed me that only two people had registered by Thursday, but eight have indicated to me that they will be doing the Course.

The Course is free although it looks as if you are purchasing it when you register!

I would really appreciate your support and cooperation in the organisation of this event.

Regards

Charlie
