The Spring Wednesday Series starts from the box at 18:20.
You will be allowed to bring your boats down from 16:00 tomorrow, Friday 11^th April. This is because the lift will be working to launch as many yachts as possible.
If you have not already entered your boat you can book your ILCA Fleet Membership, Summer Race Fees and Yard Storage at https://www.myclubaccount.co.uk/parkstoneyc/ClubEvents
Please remember to pay your ILCA Fleet membership as this helps the fleet run our events.
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to be the race officials on Monday evenings, the duty list is on the website so you can see when you are doing your duty. There are still a couple of spaces so if you are free and want to help out with doing a Monday duty please let us know.

Please make sure you have booked your TWO compulsory duties on Dutyman for this year.

If you have to book a non-ILCA slot, please let Chris Bower who is in charge of Dutyman know via the Help and Support link at the bottom of Dutyman, so he can allocate your duty to the ILCA Fleet. You will need a very good reason!!
