Midland Area Series

[paul turner]

We have had a very good turnout so far in the new MAAT series with 19 at Trent Valley and 13 at Hykeham. Here's a reminder of the remaining meetings:
Sunday 12th July Welland (new for 2009!) 3 races from 11:30 - i/c Andy Prior
Sunday 23rd August Redesmere (welcome back!) - i/c Alan Mason
Saturday 12th September Olton Mere (watch out, the lads are getting good!) - i/c Chris Troth
Sunday 13th September Trent Valley - this will be TWO open meetings in one, plus the MAAT prizegiving after tea! Three races from 11:00 - the DBs and ACs will sail together, and the 4 plankers and Vintage will start five minutes later. THIS EVENT WILL COUNT TOWARDS BOTH THE VINTAGE SERIES AND THE MAAT!
You only need one event to qualify; the best three results will be counted and non-attendance will be scored as the total attendance at the largest open meeting plus 1 point.
And in addition to the usual presentation of the MAAT trophy to the overall winner a voucher for a half price ALVERBANK Dacron jib will be awarded to the winner and the first AC boat.

Hi All. Some more info about the Olton Mere meeting.
We're hoping to have a nice full day's racing with 5 races. It is also going to count towards the youth series.
There will be a pig roast after racing and there is space for people to camp over before making their way to trent valley the following morning!
I know it's early yet, but if you know you're coming, please go to http://www.oltonmere.org/html/n12_open.html and enter your name etc into the database so we can get a rough idea of numbers.
