 We asked. You answered.
The Gold Cup survey we recently conducted is now closed, and it’s apparent that the majority of the ERCU membership would like to move our premier event back to a one-day event. Twenty three members participated in the survey that presented several options ranging from keeping the Gold Cup as is, to returning it to a single-day event and eliminating time trials. The large majority — 52.2 percent — favored the one-day event without time trials. The second option — keeping a two day event but making Saturday entirely optional — gained only half as much support (26.1 percent) and keeping the event as is saw just 17.4 percent support. One “other” vote was suggested, which was to make it a one day event, but keep time trials and eliminate the fourth flight of heats. So, starting with the 2025 ERCU Gold Cup, we’ll return to a single-day event. A rule change will be be completed during our annual rule change process to remove the time trials from the current Gold Cup rules. The ERCU Board of Directors truly appreciates the feedback that members share and the participation of so many of our members in these kinds of advisory opportunities. Thank you to all who participated.  ERCU Treasurer/Registrar Jim McKeon has shared that registration and membership renewal season is now open and members are encouraged to begin getting things set for next season.
This means that it's time to begin registering your boats and renewing your membership in the club. You can do both with a fillable form that's been added to the website (and make payment for your fees online via PayPal), or by downloading a fillable PDF and mailing it, with a check or money order to get yourself set for the new year. As a reminder, current members have their current registrations "protected" until January 2, 2025 as a motivation to get renewals taken care of. After January 2 boat registrations that have not been renewed will be made available on a first-come-first-served basis for anyone to register. NAMBA Membership renewal time is open, too To insure that you keep your same NAMBA number, please renew your 2025 NAMBA membership. You can renew your 2025 NAMBA membership by clicking here to navigate to the NAMBA Membership Portal. Please verify your profile to insure that your membership card is mailed to the correct address. Follow the prompts and select your choice of payment method. Keep in mind that your insurance is in effect when running boats at sites with NAMBA site insurance. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the NAMBA office by telephone at 760-522-9138 or by e-mail at [email protected]. |
