Antipodean Section - NZ Rendezvous

We are arranging our FIRST Rendezvous for CA members in New Zealand for Sunday 26^th February

Venue: Mission Bay Beach/Green, 8 km from downtown Auckland

We are trying to organise a get together on Sunday 20th March at the Royal Yacht Squadron in Sydney (subject to confirmation), for NSW members of the Cruising Association, before many of you head north for the northern summer as we will be doing in April.  I have asked CA liaison members in the other States to consider doing the same, perhaps even on the same day.

I would be grateful to receive an indication from you whether you will be able to attend so that we can address numbers for a venue booking.

Section Secretary
