Sport Relief

   I was reminded this morning that Sport Relief (the sporty equivalent of Comic Relief) takes place on 16th March.  
It would be great if all Y&Y forum readers could corale their clubs into making racing that day in aid of Sport Relief.
Doesn't need to be anything fancy, maybe just ask sailors for a small voluntary donation to enter the racing that day.  If every racer that day donates a couple of quid then we, as a sport, could raise several thousand pounds to help those less fortunate.
So, please, don't leave it to others to arrange - let's show what we can do.

	In fact, Sport Relief is trying to get every to run/walk/swim/cycle a mile. So why don't all you guys with GPS speedo's see how fast you can sail one mile? Like a mini Speed Freaks thing, only open on 16th March.

	Cheers Josh. I guess I have kind of volunteered myself, haven't I?! Your help would be much appreciated because I'm not sure how much I'll be down there between now and then.

	That is the weekend of the Datchet contender open. Maybe if I put on a comedy sailing routine they would put some money in the pot.... oh, just remembered, my contender sailing is always a comedy routine...
