Yo Smilie! Assume meeting still on for Sunday 30th? Christine & I intend to be there. Cheers, Paul N2750 ("the" Cheshire Cat) 

Yo Dunk. Glad you are enjoying your N12; told you it was more fun than being a "billy no mates"! Got some transom flap material, hinges etc. You free tomorrow morning to pop over to the farm? We are setting up a Cheshire Cat for a new TVSC member from 11:00.Cheers, P

Oh and our Chairman is borrowing "Mr Jones" plus Martin Clark hopes to be there if Burton SC can find him a crew in time. Er, that makes six? Px

Greetings. Declared intent to sail so far are Dave Peacock, Phillip David, Brain Herring and me; please let us know who else is joining us to help with catering, rescue etc. Thanks. Paul  N2403

Yo Peeps. It's gone very quiet! Please let us know if you are coming so we can plan. Px  N2403

Gerald is borrowing Mr Jones so there are still a few Turner Collection vintage boats available to sail at Burton, but please let me know soonest. Shotgun is race ready and Starfish and Smuggler only need dusting down. Px 

Greetings. Vintage Yotters.

Burton SC have again kindly agreed to host the Vintage Champs on 24th & 25th June. The usual tried and trusted format with three races both days, splendid catering, fish 'n chip takeaway on Saturday night, camping facilities...... Entry £30 for both, £15 for one.

All we need to know is..... Who is coming out to play?

Yo Smilie. "Cheshire Cat" intends being there with its minder and crew! What time do you expect racing to finish? I only ask coz got to be back in Derby for 18:00! Px 

And a few more entries! Our Chairman will be there and so too will our own Commode sailing Ann Britton's Tigress. Anyone else joining us? "Shotgun" N2359 is still available to borrow. Px 

Hot news: guest appearances promised from Graham & Zoe (sailing "China Doll") and Rob Peebles & his sister Ann (sailing "Mr Jones") and N2359 "Shotgun" is rigged and ready at TVSC awaiting two volunteers....  Px N2750 

Greetings. The Trent Valley Midland Area/HD Sails Four Plank Series meeting will be held at Trent Lock on Sunday 7th May 2017. ALL TYPES OF N12 WELCOME!

First race at 11:00, second race back to back and third after suitable time for digestion of lunch.  Race Officer Roger (the Ancient) Britton aided by Ken Goddard (recently returned from Outer Bulgaria) await to help you enjoy some challenging river sailing, and we have a full rescue crew from our Merlin Rocket fleet headed up by Guy Browne and Ben Allen waiting to pluck any "sail washers" from the river. Chris our new steward looks forward to feeding lots of you at lunchtime; afternoon tea will also be available after sailing.

Please let me know that you are attending; you've got to have a pretty good excuse not be there! There may be some surprise guest sailors!

The best laid plans of men and mice. Crew crisis and car off road; not looking so positive..... P

I know Dave Peacock hopes to be there too (if he can get a crew) so we could possibly have four (4) China Dolls there! What is the collective noun for a group of CDs? Px N2403 & N2524 (the latter is for sale).

Greetings. Christine and I intend to be there - but not sailing Dolly Daydream! I have just sold her to Paul Brotherton (apparently quite a good sailor?) who also intends to be there. So that's three boats.. Px 

Greetings. The time has come to reduce the size of the Turner Collection - I just can't sail them all, running out of storage and fitness, and I ought to spread the joy of vintage yotting to others! Certain boats will stay, such as China Doll, Starfish, Cheshire Cat and Smuggler, but there are two other China Dolls looking for a new and loving home. There is already interest in Mr Jones and one of the other two China Dolls so if you are looking please email me.
