  Here is the information on
  the Speed/Tune Up session that North is 
  sponsoring. Please note the
  nominal fee of $50.00 for the day which will 
  help defray the cost of
  staffing and providing on the water equipment. This 
  has been moved to April 18,19 to replace the cancelled Rhode River event. 
  This was a good workout last
  year and Will plans to double the effort this 
  year.
