"There have been several suggestions that we get on and start organising next seasons calendar
I have started a draft calendar here http://groupspaces.com/WindsurfingNZ - if you want access to this (and don't have it) please register and let me know
I have listed below the main events run this year rescheduled for next season, this is extracted from the the calendar in the site above
there are a few holes and a lot of local events missing, but this is a start.
I have not scheduled the RSX:Techno events except the Nationals, nor the Kendall Cup series
I haven't listed the kite events either but I have been listing these on the site, I think its worth doing this as well
Couple of suggestions, it would be good to have a true North Island series - options include a Wellington leg, it would be good to get some racing restarted there. Also there is interest in Tauranga which is possibly attractive to both ends of the island - also Tauranga has a plentiful supply of SUPs which could be used to guarantee and event of some kind if wind fails, or maybe Taupo or Rotorua, or Taranaki?
I think we could still have a Get into windsurfing week at the start of the season to get people started, and then a Have a go week
The main events to schedule are national and series events as they are the ones that will matter most to windsurfers who may wish to travel to these.

I will be canvassing local interest in organising a BOP event to fit within the calender. Could be a challenge, however "I know some people, who know some people..."
