The AMTA (Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association) and its members would like to invite you to participate in The 2008 Telco Charity Sailing Challenge, which  this year aims to raise awareness and funds for two prominent charities in support of our youth, namely The Alannah and Madeline  Foundation and The Salvation Army’s Oasis Youth Support Network.  

To help achieve the AMTA fundraising goals and raise the profile of the event, we are excited to announce that we have confirmed John Bertrand’s participation in the challenge. 

The AMTA race is being managed and conducted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) at Rushcutters Bay and the aim is to have 50 boats racing a scratch start; all sponsored by major telecommunications companies and their business partners. 

The AMTA ask CYCA members to assist them by providing your yacht and crew for this worthy cause.  In addition to helping two charities in need, you will be involved in a great sailing challenge and some fun at the post race celebrations back on the CYCA deck. What better excuse do you need to be on our spectacular Sydney Harbour?
