The Race Management Seminar held at Waikawa Boating Club this past weekend was a milestone for John and Linda Parrish, as it was the 51st Seminar they have facilitated since resuming the role in 2003.
John and Linda have spent the last 13 winters traveling the country delivering these seminars and contributing a huge amount to the training and qualifying of our country’s Race Officials. They bring to their role a vast amount of knowledge, experience, dedication and passion and do an incredible job of sharing this with seminar attendees. The seminars are enjoyable and informative for all who attend.
A big thank you to John and Linda for the contribution they have made to Yachting!
