[Jeremy C]

The first training event of the year is at Burghfield SC on saturday 29 March and will be run by Nick Martin complete with video debriefing. The day starts at 10.30am (ready to be on the water) and will cost £10. At the same time, it is a try-a-12 day so if you would like to try a 12 or a different design please use the coaching link on the 'contact us' page of this website.
 The following day is the open and the fleet will start ahead of club racing, as has happened in previous years, and will have three races with one discard. Pre-registration, using the link below, willl carry an entry fee of £12.00 and if you do not pre-register entry on the day will be £15.00. If you have any queries about the event please don't hesitate to contact me or Caroline Martin or Graham Camm who should all be able to answer your queries..... (hopefully!)

Just an early apology for the open meeting - Anne and I are off for late season skiing that weekend.  Hope you have a good day and I'll be in touch after to collect results for the Thames Area.

We'll be along.  I will probably have both boys in tow, so if anybody needs a crew Adam could be willing for the training at least.  He's probably happiest in an A/C...

Won't have a boat for training as I still need to do a bit of bimbling in mine - ready for Bristol.
Whats the plan for the try a boat out - can I turn up without a crew and have a go?  Will be dependent on weather but hope to be there late morning ish.
 

[John M (Guest)]

Please come along from 11.00.  No crew 'required' as we can sort that.  please call on 07801 137702 if you are coming
thanks

Looks like perfect 12 weather  force 4-5 and wet :-/ ?? - will have to make final decision but would be nice to get back yachting again - bathroom is nearly finished!!
Anyone want a qty of Karndean vinyl floor tiles - white marble - look very nice laid out.

Unfortuantely due to the windy and gusty conditions forecast for tomorrow, it has been decided that the training event will be cancelled.Do not despair......! There is training available at Bristol next wek and if you can't make that, then spinnaker the week after. See the relavant strings on the forum for details.
The forecast for sunday is much healthier so the N12 open at Burghfield is still going ahead as planned so do come along if you can, its always close racing!

??) Sadly back trouble means I must miss this event this year - to those going have a great day, it will certianly be lively if the wind doesn't subdue a bit!


Cheers

was a great day of racing in glorious sunshine - a sharp contrast to the snow of last weekend. Results went down to the last race of the day which was won by Jonno and Charlotte, who took the open, John and Mandy had done enough in the previous two races to secure second with Kevin and Jane taking third overall, counting two seconds. Lots of very very close racing throughout the fleet
Burghfield were fantastic hosts - thanks everyone

Sorry, for slowness,.... been a bit busy!
As sophie has already said.... what a perfect sailing day..... warm .... sun.... and enough wind (well apart from midway though race 3 anyway!(went a bit light!)) Full report will come soon but in the meantime the full results are below. thanks to everyone who came and made it a great day, see you all at bristol?!
