Training Sessions!
******************************************************
Hello NELD members!
Please see the attached minutes from the 2022 NE Lightning District winter meeting held on Monday 2/28/22. There were some great discussions during the meeting about increasing local participation at each of our Fleets, so please read the minutes to see what was discussed and get involved. A vote was passed to continue using Slack for the 2022 season, so please join the Slack group (use link below) to stay the most up to date with the Fleets and each other. The 2022 schedule was accepted during the meeting.
We hope to see everyone at the upcoming spring regatta at MBBC June 4-5 and then at the 2022 District championship regatta hosted by Massabesic Fleet 273 on June 25-26 in Auburn, NH. District WJM Championships are at Bow Lake in September; please note the changes to eligibility requirements – lots more people can now qualify as Juniors, as Women and as Masters.
