Federation appoints Harbour Youth Coordinator . . .The Federation has appointed a Youth Coordinator, whose responsibilities will be to concentrate on helping the youth sections of the Chichester Harbour Clubs to work to the benefit of all the clubs and the many aspiring young harbour sailors. The principal objectives will be to:
Coordinate youth activities between the harbour clubs
Assist establishing the Federation Youth Regatta - July 24/25, 2010
Promote both training and racing events on a harbour-wide basis
Sharon Houston, a member of both Mengeham Rythe and Hayling Island Sailing Clubs has stepped forward to take on the role which the Federation believes is important to build the long term relationships for young sailors in the harbour. Sharon who has been sailing for some twenty years with husband Roger, has two children sailing in the Topper Squad, and Fevas respectively. She has relinquished all previous club roles enabling her to concentrate on this new task.
Sharon can be contacted at youth@chifed.org
Many parents, particularly with the current economic climate, have been reconsidering the need to travel away to quite so many ‘Open Meetings’ when most of the harbour clubs are able to offer excellent training and racing facilities. By encouraging the clubs to cooperate more closely, it should help all the local sailing community.
The Federation are proposing to hold a Youth Secretaries Meeting on Saturday morning 6 February, 2010, details will be circulated to all clubs.
Of particular importance will be the new Federation Youth Regatta to be raced on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 July 2010 with prizes for the first club team, and the club with the most entries. Full details will be posted shortly.
