The final event of the 2009 Gill Series will take place on Saturday 7 November at Northampton Sailing Club. There is a briefing at 11.15am, first race at 12 noon and there will be 3 races back to back. The Gill Series prize giving will take place in the evening, with proceedings run by our very own Michael Brookman and will be followed by food, fireworks and a disco.
Both Saturday and Sunday are the 2009 Inland Championships so make sure that you arrange to stay overnight for the final two races to be held on Sunday - race 4 will start at 10.30am with the 5th and final race to follow.
The winning Junior over the 2 days will be awarded the Midland Area Junior Trophy - awarded to the first placed helm aged 21 and under on 7 November 2009, a fantastic trophy to win - with many well known names having won in years gone by (sadly I am just too old to qualify....)
Camping on site is free - please contact the club if you plan to bring a camper van - breakfast will be available on Sunday morning at the Club.
If you think November is a little late in the year to camp, a double room can be booked at Sedgebrook Hall for £75 including breakfast.
Further detail can be found on the NOR on the home page. Let us know if you are coming....
I'll be there with 3412.

N3402 but sailing N3454
It sounds like we are going to be there for Saturday but sadly not Sunday. Since we will not have the boys with us we should be able to stick around for the food & fireworks (they hate them!) and perhaps the disco....
It will be our first sail in the boat, so we might struggle to even put it together...
Antony

N3217 will be there, with Anthony Copsey crewing hopefully. If I don't freeze on Sat night I may sail on Sunday too!

an apology that I cannot be there in token gesture, due to training to be a DI.... hopefully it will allow me to influence the next generation of sailors to become addicted to national 12s (mwahahahaha)...
Have a great weekend all. just watch out for that bright red china doll, its quicker than you think!
