HI all,
Unfortunately I have to cancel the official GISW event-a Mexican standoff is the reason ...

I managed to secure 6 of the 7 necessary permits but MSQ will not Grant approval to run the event without a current Public liability document.The renewal document was required by 2pm today ...
(MSQ refuse to accept the current document which expired June 30 2010)

The AWA policy is renewed each year at the end of the financial year but the insurer & the relevant brokers have not provided the necessary paper work for MSQ to allow us to proceed.They have not returned recent E Mail correspondence.

This is obviously hugely disappointing & from my own perspective infuriating ...

Lots of work has gone into the organisation along with considerable expense.
WE have 35 special edition GISW2010 T shirts /daily refreshments & a Big Tarp to keep us cool ...

NEW PLAN-please turn up/please participate in 3-4 days of social GPS sailing
I wont be able to accept entry fees & will refund those already paid.

THe T shirts will be for sale for $25 & the resort & GA will honor the local rates agreement.

Any Questions please call on 0427521583

sorry to hear that mate.

i understand how disappointed you must be.

i'm sure everyone will still have a fantastic time so all is not lost.

Cam,

Sorry to hear bureaucracy has won out yet again but for me and irrespective of whether it's an official or social event, it's still going to be cracker and doesn't change my excitement level in the slightest.

Looking forward to some social sailing this weekend. You're going down Kel!

PS -how much are you selling the trophy for?

I'm looking forward to a ripper social sail at Green, as I'm sure everyone will so don't the bastards get you down Cam. See ya Saturday.

That's disappointing, it takes a lot to get an event up and running, lots of work..
Go hard with the social event and have a great time.

have fun
catch Ya
