Due to changes in the numbers of Cadet in Stingrays, We have needed to revise the teams. The revised teams will he posted at the YC before registration this afternoon.

This year Stingrays is as popular as ever but is relatively young and inexperienced so we have worked really hard to make the teams as balanced in average age and experience as possible. Thank you for your support with this as we move towards another fantastic week on water and the beach.

Please find the Cadet Week volunteer rotas posted on the Cadet board in the club. Janet will also be emailing copies out to entrants today. Adults may swap duties other than support boat by mutual agreement and ensure the swap is written on the master copy posted on the board. Thank you for volunteering, the week only happens because we help in one way or another. All other queries to me please.
Looking forward to another great week, please check Facebook for Lindsay’s kit list and make sure you are ready, see you all at registration on Sunday.

Hi all I have set up a drop box to collect pictures and video during the cadet week. So the media team of Barry Duce, Lyndon, Paul Morgan and Struan can post pictures and articles dally on the TV monitors around the club, the club website and on facebook for all participants to enjoy along with articles of interest during the week.

Also Southend council are going to post about the week on the towns website and social media sites

As you can imagine there will be lots of coverage with parents and helpers. So please only upload  your favourite 10 photos of each day.

If you have video clips they are welcome to but I would suggest short clips are best not zoomed in

Anyone who wishes to upload photos to the drop box account please send me an email requesting access and I will send you an invite to the drop box.

We will try to use as many pictures as we can for all to enjoy and then setup a cadet week 2019 folder with all the pictures on the club website

Kind Regards Steve Hopper Commodore
