[Phrf] new trophies

[bob bye]

Actually, old trophies that come from the dissolution of PHRF III, but they are new to the I and II fleets.  I, with virtually no help from the membership, (I received two replies from my previous email asking for help), have made the decision on how they will be distributed.  
It has always been a concern of mine that the women sailors in the PHRF fleet have not received the accolades that they deserve.  we are changing that.  There will now be trophies for: Women's Big Island, Women's Buoy Cup and Women's Bay Series.  There will also be a trophy for the Big Island Series.  The new face plates are being created as this message is getting to you and should be ready by the banquet.  If they are not, I will make sure that they get into the hands of the winners as soon as they are finished.

There are also a few trophies left over, and I would like to ask you to think, over the off season, as you are sitting around the fire or on the sofa having a cup of tea or a hot toddy or.... to come up with some suggestions about how these other trophies should be awarded:  newest member, silliest member, tallest member, dumbest member, cutest member, best dressed member, best sailor, worst sailor, or what other races that should have some recognition.  It is up to you.  It will be on the agenda for the spring meeting, so bring your ideas.  

I, thanks to a suggestion from Dave Johnson, will also save the old PHRF III face plates, and will either attach them on the back of the "New" trophies or find a way to mount them in a frame so that we do not lose the history of all of the wonderful sailors that have touched the water in previous years. 


Questions? concerns? You know where to find me.
