Safety Boats - Should they be coded?

[Jono Garton]

Thank you to everyone for there constructive input on this thread, a few members of the club didn't realise what coding was and the need for coding.

I'm sure the club have been watching the thread I hope they have viewed it constructively and it may help them in the future of what jobs to take on and which jobs to leave to the professionals and local businesses.

Local businesses are very pleased that these events are held in Pwllheli, but very disappointed when the fare share of the work is not spread out. With allot of Clubs offering cheep RYA Training to non members competing with Commercial Training Centres, its nice to see our local clubs being very fare and not offering courses to non members undercutting local businesses.

Yes - but it is still confusing.

However, I'm still quite happy to be safety boat for the local club with my boat, even if that does include some sandwiches, and maybe a drink!!

No film crews though!!
