Class Secretary Information 12-25-04 By Rick West
2005 Nationals We are very happy to announce that Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando has agreed to our request for holding the 2005 Nationals at one of their resorts. The race venue will be at the year old Pop Century Resort on Hourglass Lake, November 2-5, 2005. The Florida EC12 Association, AMYA #21, is the hosting organization with Joe Walter and Kent Farndell being the point people on the ground for the class.
The details of the event will be worked out the first few weeks in January. Disney has never hosted such an event and hence, has some concerns and issues that will require explanations by our team. Disney has been accommodating and is eager to be a part of this event. This, along with the efforts of Joe and Kent, will insure a premier venue within the restricted class budget like those of 2002 and 2004.
A class National’s regatta team will officiate the event with Dr. Jarl Wathne, Race Director; Rick West, Gopher; Frank Angel, Scorer and Linda Angel lakeside Coordinator.
Pop Century Resort is one of Disney's value resorts and will block lakeside rooms for us on the ground floor at substantial savings over their regular rates. You will literally step out of your hotel room and set your boat down at the race site. The Saturday night banquet will be at one of their signature restaurants in Disney’s Wide World of Sports complex.
The Florida Association will host a website with aerial and ground level photos of the venue within a month. All the normal notices and communications will be passed through this site.
This event will be restricted to 42 entries, not because it is at Disney World but because we have been pushing this limit at two of the last three. The details of a “First-Up-First-In” process will be posted soon so that long range plans can be made. There will be a standby list, if needed, and reservations at Pop Century will be controlled. It will be to the benefit of all to see the details before making advance plans and no entries will be accepted till a date to be specified.
The 2005 EC-12 Nationals will be a fantastic event that you will want to bring the whole family to. Everything that Disney has to offer will be at your fingertips. This promises to be one of the more memorable regattas and affordable vacations you may ever experience.
