<DIV>So it begins, another season of joy on the water.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The following is the tentative agenda for the meeting:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Opening remarks</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Introduction of Fleet Captains</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Treasurers Report</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Explanation of new starting sequence</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Trophies</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>New Business</DIV>
<DIV>The new business is very important, we will be reviewing and voting on
possible changes to the method of scoring. There have been some proposals
that we will consider, they are:</DIV>
<DIV>1. Change the scoring from Time on Time to Time on Distance.</DIV>
<DIV>2. Change the method of fleet divisions - in the past the fleets have been
divided into I, II, and III by dividing the number of boats by 3 and allocating
the boats evenly ie. if 30 boats sailed the previous year, each fleet
is assigned 10 boats. The proposal is to allocate boats by
ratings, that would mean that some fleets may have 7 or 8 boats and others
may have 12 or 14, or....</DIV>
<DIV>3. adjust ratings on prior years performance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These are very important proposals. Your vote is very
important. If for some reason you are unable to attend the meeting and
want to vote on these proposals, You may send me an email at <A

href="mailto:bobobye@hotmail.com">bobobye@hotmail.com</A> and express your
thoughts. I will hold your votes, act as your proxy, and submit them
at the meeting. </DIV>

so many smiling faces. We will have beer, wine, sodas, very tasty
food and some very interesting discussions. </DIV>
