Reply To: 2007 – and the future
Richard, nice comment, statement etc.. couldn’t agree more.
Pior to sailing an Ok I actively sailed a Merlin Rocket for 15 years. In 1995 we celebrated 50 years at Exe SC a fantastic venue and event. Good sailing, great parties etc,etc. Last year, the 60th anniversary, was held at Hayling Island SC, one of the best venues in th UK, not only in terms of sailing but hospitality and race oganisation. The event was promoted a year if not more before hand to maximise coverage and attendance, a 3 day event Sun to Tues for the old boats, with prizes and standard 6 day for modern, although it was up to the entrant if they wished to enter all 6 days.
The point is, as the OK is about to celebrate a half century, what is planned for 2007? Anything special, because I have not seen a dickie bird about this on any of the webistes both UK or International. If anything special is planned surely now is the time to be promoting it.
