LBYC skippers – SMS texting is here

Earlier this year the club closed its Twitter account as messages were not being received by all phones. SMS texting will now be used to communicate messages to racing boats. Skippers are asked to nominate themselves or a crew member to receive messages that can be conveyed to the rest of the crew, e.g. “racing cancelled” or “racing delayed” by sending an email with their boat name, nominated person and cell phone number to vicecomm@lbyc.org.nz.
