Last chance to practice for the Dragon Boat race - Sunday June 29th

Although not everybody was able to wake up after the very successful Spring Dinner, again we managed to practice with a full boat! Hopefully Sunday we will achieve the same, since this will be our last opportunity to work on our performance before the big day. See you Sunday at 10:20 in Nim Shu Wan, to sign up, please contact Marianne Kolding.

Dragon Series 7,8,9 - Sunday May 29th

It has been a while since we had our last race, the more reason to show up Sunday for the last part of the Dragon Series. To allow the Dragon Boat racers a quick lunch, we will leave the beach at 13:00 o’clock.

Race Training – Saturday June 4th

For all who participated in one of the Dragon series, special race training will be organized by our Commodore Training (Jimmy) on Saturday June 4th. More details will follow in the next flash.

HKSF National Judges Scheme

The National Judges Scheme has operated for the last few years, but candidates’ progress has been difficult, because of the need to attend a sufficient number of protest hearings each year to obtain the necessary experience. There are not many events in Hong Kong which provide the right opportunity for such experience.

HKSF has therefore decided to revise the scheme, to support a very limited number of candidates each year (probably no more than 2) who, if they attend the protest hearings of the major events, will have obtained the necessary experience.

In order to provide opportunities for local talent to obtain the National Judge qualification HKSF invites people who are interested to forward details of their experience and reasons for wishing to become a National Judge to the HKSF Office at Room 1009, Sports House, 1 Stadium Path, So Kon Po, Causeway Bay on or before 30 June 2005 for consideration.

Correction/clarification Flash

The offer of new Hobie 16s for HK$55,000 advertised in my previous email was made by Hong Kong Hobie Cat Ltd, and not the Hong Kong Hobie Club. Apologies to all concerned for any confusion caused.
