Guest Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 From another forum, if there's enough interest I'll try to get something together, who's interested? A couple of years back Crew.org.nz had an evening at RAYC where we had a panel of "been there done thats" (From memory John and Kevin Lidgard, Ross Field, Brian Murray and Mike Keeton), each spoke for ten mins, then pizza and a refreshing ale, then Q&A for the rest of the evening, $20 plus $5 for the pizza Any interest in a repeat performance? Not trying to undermine the existing course, more add to it. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Ok, I'll try and get something sorted, any suggestions for speakers, who do you know who has been in a raft in earnest?, been overboard? drowned and never come back ? Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Is Chris Sayer in town? He went through a fair bit in that mini of his, rig down, then keel off, then sinking... Would have some wicked stories to tell? I reckon we need to find some suppliers that want to sponsor cocktail waitresses too squid Link to post Share on other sites

Clipper 343 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Dumb question perhaps, but how much is it to attend? is the $15 for a meal, or $15 entry? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Pretty sure free to attend and $15 for the meal, but I'll double check. (and the bar will be open so triple that ) Link to post Share on other sites
