All of the recent discussions about regatta problems is simply about problems of communication.
As a new person to racing, nothing turns me off more than having information about the regattas confused and poorly laid out. THIS is what's wrong. If you can't say it succinctly for everyone to get quickly and understand clearly then continue to expect what you are getting for regatta attendance...
Absolutely spot on!
and not just new racers.... even old racers want to know what to expect!
Most racers check out the Who's Coming list and it influences their decision to go race.
Heck... look at the OP... Mimi was surprised and disappointed that Rick White was not attending.
It's all about accurate timely information so that people know what to expect.
(I have always thought that the lists of folks who have expressed some interest in attending the regatta are very poor substitutes for Paid and committed to coming lists.)
