.......I somehow can’t see RS allowing Try a Blaze day at the Aero nationals!

Quite possibly not - but I'm sure the Blaze CA (and a few others) would be very happy to co-ordinate / collaborate if requested.... a bit more notice next time would help but then there is always next year... Wink   PS - I've been loaned an Aero by their organisers to try in an Open in the past after all and appreciated the gesture.

wasn't me Duncan...  it's a great place, plenty of options for everyone, but I wouldn't pass your criticisms on to any old contacts, no point, they're here to see for everyone anyway.

I still see some updates from the club via various social media outlets, the committee were outstanding through covid, and iirc, much of their work regarding this was then disseminated via the RYA to help other clubs out.  

Anyway, nice to see the RS Aero building some numbers there.  Back in the day, I'd have loved to have seen that with the D-Zero, but whatever, the Aero is clearly filling the obvious space Draycote had for an alternative to Lasers and Solos - good luck to it- as a follow on from the Topper, it makes total sense.

junior class associations don't really have the power to retain sailors due to the demographic. But if they show to be a solid foundation to learning racing and staying in the sport then that will help attract the next generation. Giving the kids a good steer on options for staying in the sport is all part of this. 

The same goes for the youth classes really. For instance I was asked to talk to 29er sailors about my post 9er sailing and there wasn't any issues about the links to the 200s and 800s. 

I also know the 800s have sent demo boats to 29er class events before and would look to again.
