ROGER GRANGER

It is with deep regret that I must inform you all that Roger passed away suddenly on Wednesday evening

He was leading the Royal Solent Wednesday Evening race in Tattarat when he collapsed was not able to be revived

Our condolences are offered to his family at the this time

Roger has been a member of the National Committee for the past two years and brought a wealth of experience as well as a good deal of common sense to the table.

I will update this notice when I have further details

Solent Racing marks.

There are some corrections to the 2-character lists published last month.

1.  Mark 2R AQUASPEC is now called DURNS, which you may recognise as its name before it was sponsored.

2.  As a result of discussions with Trinity House, the following marks that were formerly orange are now yellow:

4V     Hamble Yacht Services

4N     Flying Fish

32      Snowden

2R     Durns (formerly Aquaspec)

3P      Citymain

3B     eDigitalResearch

For the avoidance of doubt, Royal Southern, William and Williams Shipping are still orange for 2012, as indicated on the previously published lists.
