Too many reports?

I'm going riding in a minute......I was tempted to send a report, "iitick goes riding",  but Mark may have spotted it.

Graduates had a nice day..........3 boats for an open. Mind you I read that and thought, are Grads past their peak of a few years ago? Has loosing their bandit status affected overall numbers? Perhaps that report was worth it because it made me think?

I've got no problem with that one - think about how those kids must feel about getting into the squad, and how it might inspire other kids who dabble in sailing at school to go on to do more if they read about it.

When I write reports I try to make them fairly general. I don't think that all this tack by tack is very interesting but each race usually has something interesting in it and worth reporting. I also use full names the first time I mention somebody and christian name thereafter. I have no idea who reads them other than the participants but then I also edit our club newsletter.....and no one reads that either.

I'm far more likely to read a write up of something small and unusual than a big SMOD event. But then I'm likely to have written one, too.

Small but select. Maybe that sums up the AC?

Keep the write-ups coming, I say. Far better than no changes on the front page - that would soon have people not tuning in.
