Irish Sea Offshore Racing Association (ISORA) racers will agree the 2021 Race Schedule early next month but like most things to do with the 2020 offshore season it will be a little different so there is no surprise that this year's Annual General Meeting will be conducted virtually.
Despite the ongoing threat of COVID-19, the association managed to conduct a full season of coastal fixtures on both sides of the Irish Sea although no cross-channel racing was completed. As regular Afloat readers will know, a win in September's final race of the IRC Series gave overall victory to Royal Irish Yacht Club crew Rockabill VI (Paul O'Higgins). The last coastal race win sealed the COVID-hit season after eight races sailed with five to count.
Now, the ISORA fleet is gathering again, not as usual for the annual National Yacht Club power-wow, but virtually by 'Zoom' on Saturday, 7th November 2020 at 11.00 hours for the AGM.
ISORA's Hon Sec Stephen Tudor has set out the order of business of the meeting in a notice on the association's website:
- To approve the minutes of the previous AGM.
- To approve the accounts for the year to November 2020
- To elect Officers of the Association for the ensuing year.
- To elect members of the Committee
- To agree the 2021 Race Management Detail and Proposed Race Schedule
The meeting is for the following categories:
- 2019 and 2020 Skippers, or their appointed representative
- 2021 prospective Skippers, or their appointed representative
- 2020 Committee Members
- 2021 Committee Members (proposed)
- Yacht/Sailing Club Representatives
Voting will be restricted to one vote per ISORA participating boat. Questions for the AGM to be forwarded to the Hon Sec before 2nd November 2020
