The reason is that there are currently only seven Swedish Finn sailors registered for the Class Championship in Varberg 20 - 23 August. From a democratic perspective, the board wishes that many more members participate in the annual meeting. Therefore, the annual meeting this time will be held via Teams. Date and link to the meeting, etc., will be announced later.
