As I mentioned in the Welcome to 2016 Season post to this website, we will continue this year offering WS Racers Training Sessions. We plan to start them at 10.45 on alternate Thursdays to fit in with the revised Race Start time of 11.30. These are our initial ideas but PLEASE tell us when you see us or write YOUR comments and ideas below for subjects /skills which YOU would like to be covered.
