Greetings All. We have 16 promises plus 3 possible/probables = 19 so far !?!
6 vintage, four 4 plankers, 3 ACs and 3 DBs
And even more are welcome. Paul :K)

And the first clue to his identity is: he feeds his boat lots of bananas?

8 days to go and we now have 15 entries, 2 maybes and lots of invitations out there! And we would be deligthed to welcome even more of you! Please let me know if you are coming (or not if you are a regular visitor to TVSC opens!) Paul :K)

Greetings! Dolly Daydream (and her merry crew) hope to be there. Px:K)

10 days to go and we have 11 entries already promised (but sadly three regulars have apolgised ) - the score is four vintage and seven DB/AC. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are joining us so that we can orgainse catering, rescue etc. paul@alverbanksails.co.uk 07710 324 800 :K)

The interim results for the MAAT should be on the website soon; with Olton Mere and TVSC in less than two weeks there are several people who could still win overall and first AC. Don't forget that both will receive a voucher for a half price dacron Alverbank jib! Px :K)

[The TVSC Open on Sunday 13th September is two meetings in one!]

The TVSC Open on Sunday 13th September is two meetings in one!
There is the usual Vintage and 4 Plank event PLUS there will separate races for the DB/ACs as part of the MAAT series AND the results from BOTH will count towards the overall MAAT series; the Vintage results will also be counted in the Witchcraft Bailer Series.
This is the final event of the new MAAT "Rivers & Ponds" series - note that the Olton Mere Open (and social) is on the day before - and the prize giving for the MAAT will be after racing at TVSC.
Notice of meeting will be posted later, but please email Ken Goddard and/or me to let us know if you will be there, to help us with the organisation and catering. We had 19 at the Open in May; we can cater for up to 42 boats! Hope to see lots of you at Trent Lock on 13th! Cheers, Paul :K)

Six of us! Be afraid - Ken Goddard will be there with the renewed and revitalised N2300! Px

So that's 5 of us! Do we have any of the Vintage circuit joining us? Presumably Alan will be there too? Any indication of your postcode yet? Px ??) decided on N2487!

Hi Chris! What is the postcode for satnav purposes? I hope to be there! Cheers, Paul :K) 
Thinks - But which boat shall I take? N2020/2359/2399/2487/3157? :-/

A cunning plan! But which boat, Kevin?

Oops! Suitably told off and I should have known - sorry! And slightly baffled coz Peter M is apparently taking two boats? :-/

Yo Gattiman! Regret that we will not be going to Norfolk Broads after NWNW; farming duties and major local social comittment on the Sunday means back home to darkest Derbyshire Saturday morning. Have had clearance from NWNW to change to Dolly (no problem to them) and Roly Mo will be taking the Smuggler as well as the plastic yot to hedge bets. Not heard from Vince yet...... Px :K)
And talking of other yots, it's not so much the insurance, it's the time, energy and repairs that cost! Took Mr Jones for a spin on Sunday; good fun but work to do.....

I know that it's only a few days away, and I hope that this doesn't cause any problems but is anyone taking a vintage boat to NWNW? As it's their 60th a few vintage yots might create even more interest in N12s and NWNW. I believe that Peter Miatt was rumoured to be thinking about an old boat (and dressing accordingly!), and hopefully Vince will be there as usual for one or two races in his 7 plank Whisper. If there is interest, I would like to take Dolly instead of N3157 this year. Gattiman will probably take his Baggy rather than N2255 (pressure from crew to sail a "fast" boat!). RSVP asap! Paul :K) N2020/N2359/N2399/N2487/N3157 (nearly as many as our Chairman?)

Mr Jones has been donated by Richard White to the "Turner Collection" of historic/original design vintage N12s (currently including N2020 Starfish and N2359 Shotgun) to be made available for competent helms to enjoy at future vintage meetings.
