Dear Members, as you know the club’s annual RNLI Pursuit Race and Rough & Tumble races are programmed for this coming Sunday in support of the brave and dedicated lifeboat crews and shores personal of the RNLI.
As Commodore, myself and Mandy were invited to and attended the opening ceremony of the Exmouth Lifeboat Station, which was opened with full pomp and ceremony.
The pursuit race race will be run over 90 minutes.
There is a £5 entry for both races, which will contribute to the overall fund raised and donated to the Teignmouth branch of the RNLI and their valiant and dedicated volunteers and supporters .
John Donovan as Race Officer, will hold a briefing at around 1415 for both races . With reference to the RNLI Pursuit Race, could we please request that when the 90 minute race time is completed and the finishing signal has been sounded, all competitors please hold station ( STOP ) to and to assist the Race Officer and recording teams in recording finishing positions .
Individual class start times for the Pursuit Race will be posted on the day of the race.
Start times as programmed below -
Rough & Tumble Start - 1430
RNLI Pursuit Race - First start 1445
Entry for racing will be via the same process as for normal club racing
