NOTICE OF AGM – save the date!

The 2025 ITCA (GBR) Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday 11th September 2025.

The meeting will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams. The AGM Agenda and link for the meeting will be distributed to members in due course.

ITCA World is currently putting together a shipment of used Toppers, sails, usable old sailing kit, rigging etc (everything you would need to sail a topper) to send to the Skipper Foundation in Mossel Bay, South Africa. (Partner in the learn to dream project)

Founder Rob Holden said, 'This is amazing news, we have just spoken to another development club in the Durban area and they are very keen to get a Topper fleet going there, so we will help them and send a few boats over that way. At present I have 10 sailors that can immediately go onto these boats.'

Skipper Foundation sailors battled it out to see which four would make the South African team that raced Medemblik last week.

ACTION: If you could bring with you a suitable kit/boats or sails to donate please bring with you to Largs and contact Alex Rhodes who is collecting the donations.

We still have a number of spaces we need to fill before our fleets can launch at the Noble Marine Topper Nationals! We have spaces for the following:

* Race Office (even a couple of hours per day would be great!)
* Tally
* First Aid (First Aid Cert needed)
* Safety Crew
* Mark Laying Crew
* Safety Helm (PB2 needed)
* Regatta Fleet Crew (2 per day)

Please sign up here if you are able to help: https://volunteersignup.org/4WKRR

If you have any questions about any of the roles please email eventsmanager@itca-gbr.co.uk
