Hello,
We appreciate the help you have previously given us in promoting the 2017 RC Laser Championship of Nations and are hoping that you can help us again by forwarding the following informational email to each of your members. Whilst we have 50+ entries at present we can cater for a few more and we can promise a memorable regatta and holiday to everyone who takes part.
Thank you
Organising Committee
Have you had a look at the countdown on our website lately?
We now have 50 entries from Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, Great Britain, New Zealand, Czech Republic and Australia ensuring that the
2017 RC Laser Championship of Nations will be the largest RC Laser regatta ever!
As well as being the biggest, we also aim to make it the best.
It would be even better if we had sailors from France, USA, Canada and some of the other countries where there are large fleets of RC Lasers.
