The East Coast Potter Association (ECPA) was founded in December 1994 by the trio of Lars Mulford, Barry Foy, and TJ Bartruff for the purposes of forming an organization that would cater to West Wight Potter owners and other trailer sailors on and near the East coast. Members hail mostly from the Eastern regions but are not restricted to the East coast and residing from the East coast is not a requirement in which to join. The ECPA is an active organization with monthly sail-ins that run from April to November. Monthly dinner meetings are arranged during the off- season to provide continual group contact. Dues for the ECPA are payable annually. Dues are $15 and checks can be made out to TJ Bartruff and sent to him at the address given below. Memberships run from June to June. Members of the ECPA receive the following: 1) "East Coast Potter", our association newsletter, published throughout the year. Special bonus editions also are included when events merit. 2) Invitation to monthly sail-ins and off-season dinner meetings. These are normally listed in the newsletter and mailed directly to you. 3) Invitation to "The Gathering", our annual main group event, which includes large group sailing, camping adventures, cook-outs, and rustic outdoor adventure as well as island and cove exploring, skindiving, and other group related activities. Come experience the comradeship this event inspires, and make friends that you'll keep for a lifetime. 4) Membership card showing you as a "member in good standing" of the ECPA. 5) Members receive a discount on commemorative items and articles embossed and endorsed by the ECPA; ie: "The Gathering" T-shirts, ECPA sweatshirts, etc. The only requirements to become a member of the ECPA are to have a love of sailing and a desire to meet others with the same interest! Once a member, the ECPA strongly urges it's members to send in information about sailing areas in your locale that would be wonderful spots for one of the monthly sail-ins, or perhaps even "The Gathering". Please supply the following when sending in an area for consideration: 1) Type of water (lake, river). 2) Kind of water (salt, fresh). 3) Currents, tides. 4) Launching, picnic, camping facilities as well as lodging and restaurants nearby. 5) Applicable fees. 6) Prevailing winds. 7) areas of interest nearby (on water & land).
