HAVE YOU GOT YOUR START RACING CERTIFICATE YET? Posted On: 02/07/2008 12:58:15 PM | |||||||||
| |||||||||
Have you taken your Start Racing Award yet? If you are participating in T15 inter-club events then you are up to the standard, and this is one of the questions we are now asking on the entry forms for inter-club events. Start Racing can be delivered as part of your T15 club sessions, so ask your coach about it, as well as all the other courses available in the new RYA Youth Windsurfing Scheme logbook. Maybe with the summer holidays coming up it is time to book yourself onto one of the higher level windsurfing courses at your T15 club/RYA centre and learn some new skills? Alternatively the RYA summer camps (see other news items) can provide the opportunity to achieve Intermediate and elements of the Advanced Racing award.

ADOPT-A-BEACH
The Green Blue is an environmental awareness initiative by the British Marine Federation and the Royal Yachting Association. One of its aims is to educate and promote the sustainable use of coastal and inland waters by watersports participants.
Some of the initiatives have a relevance to windsurfers - especially in achieving cleaner seas and beaches.
Adopt-a-Beach is definitely relevant to T15ers, which is a Marine Conservation Society project supported by the Green Blue.
