Thanks for adding this, what is the process to add an event?
ie VARC Meeting & AGM, Deep Cove Yacht Club, Monday Dec 2nd, 7PM
can users add (I tried) or does it need to go through a moderator?

@Wraith we are working on a calendar that everyone can add to but we need to do some upgrades on the back end first - stay tuned hopefully we get this sorted in the new year.
In the meantime this is just a google calendar displaying events from vanareayachting@gmail.com, if you email @nemesisracing she has volunteered to make updates.
@Wraith I added the AGM to the calendar:-)
If you tell me when and where, or send a link, I can post that too.
A couple of things coming out of the recent VARC meeting:
First, RVYC has set the date of the new Leukemia Cup for May 30, and is hoping to build it into a major cornerstone event along the lines of the old Heineken Cup. The course will be set up so it is a fun event, but conventional enough to count as a serious race, and as I understand it the hope is to make it a VARC event (likely there will be a “racer’s start” and a “cruiser’s start”).
Second, WVYC has taken over ownership of the RNSA Nanaimo Single-handed race from FCYC, and the date for that is set for June 6/7.
Third, and without going into too much specifics (because I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder prior to the official meeting minutes coming out), a couple of different clubs discussed the possibility of changing existing weekend races into overnight layover events (where racers race to a distant location on day 1, layover and party, then race back on day 2).
Fourth, and finally, there was also some discussion about doing something to recognize and encourage short-handed racers, like possibly a separate double-handed championship prize based on existing events and given out at the VARC awards night.
email me to post updates. I dont always see this.
