As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen the sailing community and improve the quality of our events, we are pleased to invite your members to join us for a Club Judge training session on Saturday, 14 September, from 9 AM to 3 PM, including lunch. The session will be led by Tim Dorning, a National Judge and National Umpire, and the cost is $30 per participant.At times, we have trouble finding qualified volunteers for protest chairs and protest committees at Blairgowrie, and we know this can be challenging for other clubs as well. We are keen to expand our pool of skilled Club Judges, and want to share this training opportunity with our neighbouring clubs.
While the Club Judge – Protest Committee training is already available online to all Australian Sailing (AS) members, we believe there is significant value in working through the training in a group setting, combined with a mix of theory, discussion, mock hearings and written Q&A. We also see great value in fostering a local "rules group community" allowing more participation in protest hearings and support across clubs.
Please RSVP by Thursday 12 September to ensure your spot in the training, https://www.revolutionise.com.au/bys/events/254387
