The European Governing committee has decided to sent a proposal for Aramid halyards to the class for a vote. Many of you will remember that this was brought up at the annual meeting for a vote 2 years ago and narrowly defeated. The Europeans feel strongly about it and so it will be mailed to all members as a ballot in the fall. If anyone has strong feelings about it, pro or con, please submit a letter to Deb Whitehorse for publication in runner tracks.
Welcome to the New IDNIYRA website. Thanks to the efforts of Deb Whitehorse, the website has been revamped to be fun informative and accessible to all.

The website will continue to improve with time and is in a format that can easily be kept current. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can direct them to me eric.anderson5193@att.net or Deb Whitehorse.
Enjoy you summer and get that gear ready for the fall- the Western Challenge is only 5 months away.
