Committee help needed at BSUPA
As you may know, at the AGM in January 2010 Jock Patterson was voted onto the committee of BSUPA, which is fantastic news for the sport, as anyone who has met or been coached by Jock will know.
Sadly Richard Marsh (Events Director) has resigned. We are very sorry to lose Rich who has put countless hours into organising events in 2008-09. So thank you very much Rich for all your work, it is very much appreciated.
BSUPA Events 2010
We were hoping to have more event dates nailed down by now, but here is the list so far - more will follow as soon as we have heard from organisers confirming arrangements :
West Wittering - 2XS - 15th & 16th May 2010 Surf Counting in BSUPA series
Brighton - July 4th Paddle Round the Pier - Distance Race - Counting in BSUPA Distance series
Poole - Animal Windfest - 10th & 11th September - Distance Race - Counting in BSUPA series
Watergate Bay, Cornwall - 16th 17th October - Final event - combining surf and the last distance race in the series.
In 2010, as discussed and agreed at the AGM with members in January we will be running a distance series and a surf series. You can expect three to four events in each category. We have made Paddle Round the Pier and the Animal Windfest part of the distance series for 2010, if this proves a success we will hopefully continue and develop this over the coming years. The distance series will have two board type categories, one limited by there being no boards over 12ft 6" and the other having no length limit. We will be running Men's, Womens and Juniors categories.
Full details will be revealed asap !
