Dinghy Show 2008
The arrangements for the 2008 Dinghy Show, which is to be held at Alexandra Palace on the 1st & 2nd March, are well underway.
Application and deposit for the SigneT stand has already been made and at Ferry Meadows Chris Whiteside agreed that his dinghy ST522 (Joker) would be our featured boat. This is no small undertaking because it commits the owner to a lot of work to prep the boat to exhibition standards.
The class looks forward to welcoming AQSC members to the show. If you’ve never been to Alexandra Palace put those dates in your diary now, its well worth a visit.

It is much easier and cheaper for the Club to distribute newsletters in electronic format. In future we intend to give members this option (hard copy will still be available if requested).
Please have a look at the newsletters on the website and see if this is agreeable to you. The online version should be available within a week of you receiving this newsletter.
