Steve,

I will send the logo file to you. I will also send you (and Eric) the e-mail you've send me but not to eachother. Lets work this out with the three of us.

I'm personally favouring the one-supplier - send it to each local branch approach. The mail costs should be pretty minimal.

I do think however that when we do something like this that we should either get a sponsor or start asking membership fees.

I have no time looking for a sponsor so someone else has to do that or we'll go for a modest membership fee that will cover the registration, issue of class insignia and pay for the (hosting of the) website.

Not included will be the measurement of the boat for compliance; Unless a local branch is willing to set up a volunteer squad to do this task at a few specified regatta's. Open to public to keep things fair. This last option is what I'm leaning towards too.

All other stuff will still be free. I also like the fact that a crew can participate for free to get to know the class. So Maybe we should decide on making the first year membership (no issue of insignia) free without an automatic transition to payed membership.

A quick calculation shows that we need at minimum US$ 25,- / 25 Euro's / 40 Aus$ to do the job well.

Would this be unacceptable to you ?
