A number of yachting and boating clubs have signed up to Yachting New Zealand's Clean Club programme recently, a world-leading initiative to help clubs become more environmentally focused, but we'd love to see more get involved. That's why we've brought together some of the biggest names in sailing in this country to remind you of why the environment is so important. Give your club the nudge it needs to get involved because it's a lot easier then you might imagine, and share our video so others come along for the ride. There's plenty more in today's edition of Briefings, including news of Molly Meech's inclusion in a global business network, Regional Roundup and a story on Dutch sailor PJ Postma's return to dinghy sailing in this country. We also bring you a wrap up from various events throughout the country and draw your attention to a couple of opportunities available. As always, let us know if you've got any news or suggestions by emailing michaelb@yachtingnz.org.nz.
