* Regular Seminars are directed to the first or second time racer where the Advanced Seminar is more for the racer that has done the race a couple of times. The Advanced Seminar is new this year and if successful, NOSA may conduct more of these types of seminars in the future.

Note: The last Advanced Seminar is now posted on the BCYC web site under the "Racing" tab. This will be conducted by NOSA Staff Commodore Paul DeCapua. It's scheduled for Friday, April 4th at 7 PM.
