Squad Surprises

Being a lowly class rep I have no idea yet who has and has not been offered Scottish Topper Squad places this year and I suspect there may be some National Squad members or newly appointed 420 and Laser Squad members to reveal themselves too. So suspected Squad selection surprises shall have to wait till a further blog. What I can say for definite is that there will have been far more applicants than there are National Squad places available ands there are far more training opportuinities than just the National squad. So if you have not yet been offered a Scottish squad place then do not dispair. Much of the best training, and certainly the best fun, is to be found at Regional and ITCA Open training events and there are plenty of those over the coming months.

For a start there will be East and West Squad Training, the details of which are about to be released. Keep and eye on the RYA Scotland Racing Pages. For girls there is also the RYA All Girls Programme which takes place at four National venues each winter. Details of that are on the ITCA (GBR) Website. And once the weather begins to warm up again there will be some ITCA Open training events if I can set them up. Details will come out by e-mail to those whom I know and will be on this site and the Scotland pages of the ITCA (GBR) site for those I do not.

Keep smiling. There are very many ways to enjoy your Topper and more than one route to being the best sailor you can be.
