New topic for Annual meeting

Promotion also needed

In addition to clasess and equipment that makes sense is affordable and easy to purchase, we need a publicity plan and budget. Even if the kinks are ironed out of the classes issue, people need to know about what we do. In the alternative, if truly stock engines and boats that are available for sale new to the general public are raced, there is a good chance that the publicity will come from manufacturers and dealers.

Also, fast wide long drivers courses that are so removed from spectators (should they come to watch) are not good for attracting interest in our sport.

2. All runabout will have at least an 8" High vertical By 48" long sign board for Boat name and number (s). These side can work as bumpers, if by chance boat came together...
3. All left hnad to have protection between the throttle and the outside world.
