Topper Ireland are pleased to release the 2021 Events Calendar and would like to thank all the clubs who have committed to 2021. As the year draws to a close we would like to thank all the clubs who tried as hard as they could to put on events in 2020, which in most cases was just not possible.

We will all have to see what 2021 brings with regards to Covid, but it is important we plan and stay flexible wherever possible. I am aware the plans for the Topper Worlds in Cork and Topper British Nationals in Ballyholme are progressing well and we are thankful for the support and advice the ISA and RYANI continue to provide.

I would like to thank Joe Seymour who at our AGM in September stepped down as Topper Ireland Chair after two years. Joe will be missed and saw the organisation through some challenging Covid times.

Finally, thanks go to all our Topper Ireland Members for your continued support, we are aware that many of you registered and paid your yearly membership in 2020 and the committee has agreed to offer all those sailors that did, free membership for 2021.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, please stay safe.

Andrew Dadley & Topper Ireland Committee
