Next weekend is Octoberfest. The following are going: Elsa, Miles, Jeffery, Lisa, Victoria, Nick, Elise, Liam, Amy, Sawyer, Riley, Ali, Liam, Lainey, Curran, Will, Greg, Hailey, Jack T, Jack W.
There will be Laser Fleets and FJ fleets and possibly v15 fleets. I will assume everyone will sail in the FJ fleet unless you tell me otherwise. If you have a laser you should consider sailing that has many of the other teams are planning to sail lasers and with the numbers we have we will need to bring a lot of FJs.
We will be leaving early Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening. The cost for the weekend is $30 and additional meal tickets can be purchased for $5. The cost includes lunches both days and dinner Saturday night. I be staying the night down in Seattle, likely at Liams Grandpas house.
We will need parents to drive and tow, so let me know if you can do either, and how many kids could fit in your car.
Next topic: Starting Tuesday we are a club sport at each of the three schools. YAY! This is really cool and will come with it some benefits such as: reduced ferry fees when traveling to regattas, ability to receive a varsity letter, some school funding, ability to recruit, and displaying of championship banners when we win!
It also comes with some changes in policy to meet Bellingham School District standards. Starting Tuesday I will be sent a list before every practice of students eligible to compete. This will be based on grades, attendance at school that day, and if you are on the bad list or not (for breaking rules). Knowing all of you I'm sure this will not be an issue. However, if you are not on the list, I can not let you practice. You will have to sit on shore. Everyone will need to fill out an athletics packet which includes waivers, get a physical exam, and purchase an ASB card. Which I am told most of you have already. I will bring all this stuff to practice on Tuesday for you to take home and fill out.
See you on Tuesday!
