>>>> Please dress warmly as the loft isn't heated. Below is the agenda:
>>>>>> *1) Introductions*
>> A quick round to introduce everyone
>>>> *2) Fleet captain vacancy*

>>>>>> *3) Nationals 2015*
>> 2015 is the 50th anniversary of the designs of our beloved Tuna. It would
>> be great to commemorate this in some way, preferably during nationals.
>> Nationals will be held at CYC on 17-19th July. We are looking for someone

>> help.
>>>> *4) Mentor program*
>> The S22 fleet has a mentor program for new members. The idea is to pair
>> newcomers to the with an experienced skipper who will answer all your
>> questions and hopefully sail with you once or twice, or shanghai you into
>> being racing crew. Please let me know if you are interested in being a
>> mentor or mentee and we'll try to pair you up. (as a shameless plug... Byte
>> Size is looking for crew for 2015).
>>>>>> *5) Racing*
>> We have asked your input on the 2015 racing season via email, below is the
