GILL SERIES 1- Burghfield SC

[Jeremy C]

Even though there is snow on the ground again today, spring is very nearly here and that means the open sailing season is soon to be in full swing.
 
With this in mind the first of the GILL series is at Burghfield SC on the 27th March 2010. As usual we are operating a pre-registration booking procedure to help plan the event in advance. Format for the day is three races with one discard, first race from 11am with the remaining two races back to back after lunch. 
 
With only two Gill events calendared before Burton Week can you afford to miss out on some big fleet racing?

 
Please use the link below to pre-register. Note that pre-registration does not require pre-payment but is only to help with early planning and to save you time on the day as all the pre-registered information will automatically be downloaded onto your official entry form saving you the hasssle of writing it all out!

Entry on the day for the event is £18 but if you pre-register this drops to £16

We are looking this year to provide tea and cakes at the end of the event as having been to Henley for the first time last year I now feel hungry at just the thought of it and want to make sure that you are all equally weighted up as I am at present after relative winter hibernation!

Hi all.
I'm trying to stay involved in National 12 sailing as i've really enjoyed sailing them over the last 12 months or so. Due to unavoidable circumstances i'm now without a helm so i was wondering whether any of you N12 sailors are in need of a crew this season? Confident sailor in the front of a 12, sailing at many opens and getting a range of results. Would appreciate any replies.
Drop me an email for those who are interested.

Many thanks. Laura Humphrey (OMSC)

She left a post of page 2 of the forum with this... you may want to get in contact.

Five days to go before the first of the GILL series 2010.
Could I remind those that have expressed an interest in coming that by pre-registering (using the link in the frst post on this thread) you will save money on the entry fee! It will also mean that you don't have to waste time filling out forms on the day as your regristration will printed and just waiting for your signature. In addition it helps us plan for the day in advance, hence the reduced entry fee.
 
N.B. pre-registration will close on Friday so don't leave it until the last minute!
 
Forecast as of 10 minutes ago..... looks good, but obviously early days yet.

[Jeremy C]

Pre-entry is now closed, but you can still enter at the event tomorrow.
It would be really helpful if those who have entered could pay by cheque tomorrow as it saves problems with change!
cheques made payable to Burghfield sailing club, if you want to write it early!
 
See you all tomorrow..

Thanks to Jeremy and George for organising a great day's sailing / cake eating.  Thanks to Nick for great courses.  Also thanks to all the great cake bakers (Charlotte, Mandy et al).
See you all at Up River I hope.
