Summer newsletter

The Daring Association's Summer Newsletter has been published.

Cory Cup

The Cory Cup 08 results have been discarded and the event will be re-run on 27/28 September. The main reason for this was that the requirements for entry were not clearly spelt out, which resulted in two groups of competitors and the race committee all interpreting the requirements differently! Attached are some new very simple rules and entry system, which I have agreed with the RTYC and which aim to encourage maximum participation.
