• Event Updates
• General Club Updates
• Club equipment tally. Please bring along any club gear eg The Woo’s.
• Accounts Update
  • Any ideas on how best to spend this, or leave it ticking along as usual?
  • KKC match (with a cap?) bidding on lost board found at Perranporth, where the money will go to the RNLI?
  • A thank you something to Ian Butt who takes kitesurfing photos of so many in the club.
• Woo prizes (highest jump for each area & overall highest)
• Do we carry on with the training subsidy system in place ?
  • Lee from Pasty Adventures has suggested he run some club coaching days, at £300 for a half day (12:00 to 17:00). Perhaps one for advanced jumping, unhooking and loops and another for more intermediate skills of toeside, backloop and pop. He would need the date to be pre-booked. Maza, Gwithian or The Bluff. Lee has said it’d make sense to pre-book 2 dates and that if neither have any wind, so the coaching doesn’t happen, there would be no fee.
    • “For demos I use a speaker system so that everyone can hear me talking through manoeuvres as I do them, then people would hit the water before coming back in for feedback and the next demo.”
    • That way there is no limit on numbers, would also make great footage for a club video and pics as will give set areas for people to practise moves running in a loop to avoid collisions.
• AOB / Any Other Business:
  • Matt Taylor, our current Vice-Chairman has a youth training idea.
  • Steve Townsend has asked if we can “Please please please get a wind meter at Maza that works -the Ocean High cam/meter was superb, but hasnt been functioning for the best part of a year. Any ideas welcome – maybe even consider a camera upgrade – I would certainly be happy to contribute to a quality and reliable cam/anemometer, if the club can’t cover it.”
