A One-Day Race Management Seminar is scheduled for 4 May at the Houston Yacht Club.  This full-day seminar, test, and application will qualify individuals to become Club Race Officers.
Below is a link to all the information and links to register, access the Study Questions, and additional information. 
It is important to emphasize the Study Questions.  It is expected that every participant will have completed all of the Study Questions BEFORE attending the seminar.  Just answering the questions is the first step – providing citations to the RRS that apply to each question provides additional knowledge of the Racing Rules.  Please encourage anyone interested that completion of the Study Questions is important.
If you have any questions or need any assistance then just let me know.

If you ever though about being a Primary Race Officer (PRO) this is a great opportunity. These seminars are very informative and very well run. We also have the Conundrum on May 3rd and you could get a little more expertise in race management. If you are interested in Race Committee Volunteering, contact me at sailsong@swbell.net . It is always fun and interesting on Tramp. Make it two days of fun and learning!

Just a reminder to all race committee folks as well as racers in the Galveston Bay area.  the One-Day Race Management Seminar at Houston Yacht Club will be held this weekend (Sunday) This course is designed as one of the qualifying steps for a US Sailing Club Race Officer Certification, but is not limited to Race Committee folks.  This course is valuable to racers and provides an excellent view into the process and activities that the Race Committee (and particularly, the Principal Race Officer) perform in setting courses and running races.
This isn't a "show up" seminar - there is preparation.  Each attendee is expected to complete the study questions before the seminar.  These will be reviewed during the presentation.  There is an on-line test that will be taken after the seminar which will grade your knowledge and is also part of the CRO qualifying process.

The ODRMS is an excellent venue for those interested in race committee work, sailors and racers who are interested in the details of your Race Management crew, and those interested in becoming certified Club Race Officers.  Go to the link below and register!  Donuts and kolachies will be there for a light breakfast and a make-your-own sandwich lunch is also included.  This is an all-day event, but there will be time built-in for question/answers.
