Dear NZMPBA Members.
In response to recent poorly supported NZMPBA National Championships regattas of the last couple of years, the NZMPBA Committee has been looking at how to solve this issue.
The committee have decided that the issue is to big to solve alone, so a draft "Concept" of a revised National Championships has been developed.
The key changes being considered are when and where the regatta is held each year, how many days it runs for, and the format and classes that are available at the regatta.

The committee now urges you to PLEASE look at and consider this and give your feed back by e mail to the NZMPBA Secretary, Steve Trott, sktrott232@xtra.co.nz
Your input is vital so that we know if you do or don't like something, and if you don't, what can be changed to improve it...
Submissions close 30/9/2016.

Thanks and Regards,
NZMPBA Committee.
