Register for the Regatta Today!!!

Poster designed by Diane Cook-Tench

Hi there everyone, we really need your help today!!  Rappahannock River Yacht Club developed a new regatta. It's also an invitational for junior racers since the junior group is growing at our club.  They had over 60 boats racing here in the last junior sailing invitational.  As of last Friday morning, not a single junior had entered this new regatta.  I'm sure it's because they simple didn't know much about it.
I jumped in to get the word out last week, designing a poster, T-Shirts, and the canvas bags that are will be given away as awards. We sent this poster out to the other clubs last Friday but I was also racing in Fishing Bay's One Design Regatta and didn't get back in until later last night.
The two post-race beers I drank must have addled my brain as I didn't ask Lin McCarthy to send out word about the regatta in the Southern Bay News that went out this morning.
If we don't get enough racers signed up today, Debbie Cycotte will have to cancel this regatta before it gets started.
Please help spread the word about this great opportunity to race to your fellow racers.  It should be a lot of fun if we can just get enough people entered in it.  There are many fleets and many chances to win.
Both the NOR and registration can be found on the RRYC's homepage or by clicking on these links.  All you need to do is to send Debbie an email today if you want to register for it.  You can do this by sending a quick note that simple says you're going to race.  Then you can fill out the paperwork later.  Debbie's email is dcycotte@yahoo.com
