Huntington Lake, CA. Fleet 1 - Newport
Harbor will be hosting the
event. Further details on lodging, etc. will be

months. If you have any questions, please forward
them to John Papadopoulos
at
jakp@mindspring.com
****
The Lido 14 Class Association is seeking bids for the 2001 Western
Regional
Championships (WRC). The WRC is
intended to counterbalance the Sr.
Class
Championships so that Class members that cannot attend the Class
Championships
due to distance and time constraints can attend a more "local"
event
with high caliber sailing. Given that
the 2001 Class Championship
Regatta
is somewhat centerally located amongst the West Coast Lido 14
fleets,
bids venues other than Central California are encouraged. Bids
should
include: proposed dates, brief description of the racing venue,
lodging,
meals, boat storage, probable weather, etc.
Note that it is
appropriate
to host the WRC in conjunction with an established regatta, as
was the
case in the 1999 and 2000 running of the event. Please forward all
WRC
bids to Lido 14 Class Vice President at the Lido 14 P.O. box address
listed
above.

**** A
number of fleets have not submitted dues for the 2000/2001 membership
year
which began at the conclusion of the Class Championships several weeks
ago. Please make a point of forwarding dues along
with information on each
member
(name, spouse name, street address, phone #, email address, boat

Box.

In
addition, please report your 2000/2001 fleet officers and your 2000 Fleet
Champion.
We
encourage you to submit your fleet member information in electronic
format
to Sharon Young at her email address STENO2@email.msn.com. If you
can,
send your roster in a Microsoft Word or Excel document attached to your
email. If you cannot support those document types,
plain text separated by
commas
or tabs is fine too.
