BSSC will sponsor (pay the registration fee) of up to 3 members who wish to take the upcoming CYA race management course (see previous post). Sponsorship will be awarded on a first come first serve basis.
The course is a great opportunity for (potential) volunteers or wanna be racers to learn some of the basics of what sailboat racing is all about. Sailboat racing is, be it as a racer or as a race official volunteer, a great recreational opportunity providing fresh air, exercise and time spent with other like minded individuals.
Race Management, for those interested in qualifications as certified race officials, presents wonderful opportunities for personal development and travel on a provincial, national and even international level.
If you are interested in having the BSSC sponsor your attendance at the upcoming CYA Race Management Weekend please contact Jaime Hogan at jaime.hogan@gmail.com.
