Canadians Welcome
Note To Canadians: To help with Registration please send
a copy of your SCIRA Canada card with your event registration.
The SCIRA USA Board of Directors has approved an invitation to all
Snipe Class Members of SCIRA Canada to participate in the 2006 SCIRA
USA Nationals (including the Junior and Special Junior National Championships)
that is being held July 7-14 at the Erie YC in Erie, PA. We hope your
members will consider participating as the event is being hosted so
close to your border in D-5 where many of your members have frequently
participated.
The USA Nationals has in the past been an event that is open only
to members of SCIRA USA. The USA Board is considering moving this
to a ‘fully open’ event. The invitation to members of
SCIRA Canada is a first step/experiment in that direction.
At the event SCIRA Canada members will be required to show evidence
that they are paid members of SCIRA and SCIRA Canada. As competitors
in the event they will be awarded their earned position in the event
standings, including any event specific finishing position awards
( ie 1 st place award in Crosby, Heinserling or Wells). However, as
we have not modified our Deeds of Gift for the Perpetual Trophies
for the events, they will not be eligible to be awarded the Perpetual
Trophies that are subject to Deeds of Gift which specify that the
winner of the award must be a USA Citizen or a resident of the USA
for at least one year.
If you or any of your Members have any questions re this or the Nationals
please feel free to contact me.
Hope to see you in Erie,
Don Hackbarth
Snipe US National Secretary
