I second Bens nomination of Warwick and Bob for creche duties <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Warnambool was well run, quality accomodation available near to the club and plenty to do for the family, the local council even had an activity centre in the park for kids.

Locking in which day is the layday before the regatta allows planning some family activities which helps keep the most important people happy as well as cancelling windless days early. Nothing worse then sitting on the beach all day waiting for wind then having to cancel family activites to sail the lay day. I would rather keep racing all day long when there is wind even if it means 4 or 5 races a day.

I like lots of races, varied courses, the one race we sailed loops at Warnambool was good and I hope we continue to have them at Nationals.

A few ideas from other classes I have sailed National Titles in, they may not apply to us but I am putting them out there for comment.

1, Pay an optional extra $30 when registering and receive on water refreshments and snacks between races.

2, Receive results and weather via group SMS.

3, Beach roller delivery, very helpful if there is a limited safe area to launch and recover boats.
