Kevin
John & Katy Meadowcroft are coming
Doing the dinner on sunday night. probably want dinner on the saturday provided it is not too early... kids to bed etc...
looking forward to it.
;D N2154 Sparklet design - I bought her sans fittings - her previous owner had removed everything to start revarnishing, I am trying to put her back together having finally given her a coat - so no laughing if I've got anything on backwards or upside down or whatever - also I am not sure if the 40 years old self bailers are going to sink me yet - I am hoping for a maiden sail this Sunday ( which I believe is going to be breezy - so no doubt I can test her bouyancy as well )
Anyway I hope to arrive on Sunday, will probably wish to camp at the club site and will hopefully sail in the Pursuit race with my daughter Ellie on the Monday.
N2145 campaigns again...lets hope I can do her justice.
Sean Clarson
just printing off the N12 association membership forms...as we speak
ps do I need to reserve a camping pitch or anything? - and do we have directions posted anywhere?
Sean (and anyone else who is unsure of where Northampton SC is), please refer to the club web-site page at http://www.northamptonsailingclub.org/NSCfindingus.htm for directions.
No need to reserve camping, there is plenty of room and it is free.
Look forward to seeing you there.
Kevin
Dave & Jane Wade sailing 3468 (kindly on loan from the Thornton family) will be there to sail on all three days - Sedgebrook Hall for dinner on Sunday and small person to put to bed Saturday so no food at the club.
Jane
Philip and son Joel plan to sail all three days with N3253.
Wife and daughter may be onshore some days.
Not likely to stay for evening meals, not going to dinner (unsociable b^gg&r)
Kevin,
Ken Goddard and Ann Britton will be sailing N.2300 "Duodecimal" on Saturday and Sunday. Sedgbrook Hall has been booked for the big Dinner. Please book us in for dinner on Saturday night.
Regards
Ken
I'll be there with Adele, we'll be sailing on Saturday and Sunday ;D but I need to drive home on Sunday evening so no dinner for me :(
I'll be camping and eating at the club on Saturday. If food is early on Sunday might manage that too!
Looking forward to a brilliant weekend 8).
Cheers

However we were planning to arrive on friday night, would this be possible Jane or Tom? I have to protest tho i hope sumo wrestling isnt only available to the people who dont go to the dinner!! Helms verus Crews me thinks!!
See you there

Sumo Wrestling also available during afternoon of Sunday so no problems with arranging a bout with your crew! I can let you in on Friday night if you want to give me a call - number in book.
Jane
Hi Jane could you email me your number nathan_harding@btopenworld.com. I am at university and the book is at home and i dont think ringing home for them to find it is an option.
nath
What times are proposed for the starts on saturday and sunday? ( sunday is only 2 Gills?)
Will be there but need to time my run out / home to maximise Brownie points for further travelling!
Also need a crew.... Please ring, numbers in the book

Hi Kevan
Coming over from the Island with 3498 Paradise Pudding. Looking forward to the weekend. Are there any other Pudding boats sailing?
Cheers Dare
Anne, Flipside and I will be there for the whole weekend - we may even have entered already but I can't remember. And we're looking forward to the first ever appearance at the same time on the same water of the only 5 Numini ever built.
And after Desborough today (for which thanks to the home team for organising the event), it will be good to have the choice of sailing on the same tack for more than 10 seconds.
Mike D
N3496
Kevin,
I have now have crew/babysitting all sorted, so will be sailing most of the time with various people. We will also have a couple of babies, some enthusiastic grandparents and most likely a very full car.
I am really looking foward to getting back in the boat,
Antony
N3484
Mike and Alex in N3274 sailing the Sat and Sun. Camping and meal on the Sat night. Hoping that after Graham and Zoe sailed it on Sunday, some of their speed remains in the boat, but I suspect that they've taken it back with them.
And maybe Alex (age 8) won't be the youngest crew??
Mike
N3274
Further to previous note N2154 does float, so Sean, Lynn and Ellie shall be arriving to camp Sunday afternoon in readiness for the Monday pursuit race. Food will be required at the club for a maximum of 3 on Sunday pm.
Greetings - Will be there with Christine Marshall sailing N2487 Dolly Daydream for the full three days plus Sunday night - already booked. Not sailed the vintage yot since Ripon last year - perhaps I should dust her off and take her down to TVSC on Thursday night to check she floats!?!
Awaiting a call from Richard Watson to confirm that he is sailing N3500 Crazy Diamond at the 70th, but I think is having crew problems.
Let's pray for good weather!
Dare, I believe that Andy Horsley will be at the event in "more of a tart than a pudding" (i think thats the correct name....
Nath
Hi Dare
James Ferguson said he would be sailing 'Steam' if he can find a crew. What a pity I won't see it (I'm away next weekend yachting - tch).
Richard
N3445
I am planning to sail all 3 days in my crusader, with my 11 year old son who has never sailed an open meeting before so anticipation is high. Looking forward to it.
Will be camping atthe club, but have made alternative food arrangements

We have just had a count up of the boats we KNOW are intending to be there this weekend and after allowing a few more for people who don't "do the internet" it looks like we are on course for 70 - 80 boats. That is absolutely BRILLIANT.
And having just checked the BBC weather site, we are promised sunshine and force 3-4 winds. Let's hope they have it right for once.
Kevin
I was excited, now i am really excited.
I think, from memory, that last time (when we were only 60) there were 77 boats at Pitsford for the weekend.. but my memory is pretty poor on these details. I do remember getting to the club pretty early and then waatching a queue of cars coming into the compound all towing 12s. It would be great to beat that number....
I assumed given the amount of work going into making this weekend a success, G&Z, Lesley & Kevin, Tom, Char and many others, that top weather was one of the first things that was booked.
See you all there,
A
Well, I'm not going to make it... Won't affect numbers seeing as I sold my Twelve but I would still have loved to have been able to pop by. :'(
I expect to see Bandwidth shattering numbers of images and videos and that....
Kevin
sorry to change my plans - my daughter cannot crew for me now - so I have made arrangements to crew for james on Sun and Mon instead - I will camp over on Saturday and Sunday and will eat at the club on Sat pm and Sun.
Sean.
Andy and Sarah will be there on Sat/Sun with N3314 having persuaded Grandparents to have quality time with young Rebecca but evenings/monday would be stretching it. Looking forward to it and hoping we can go a bit faster than at Grimwith last week.
Kevin
My e-mail of a week ago has just been returned undelivered so try again: 3365 with Jerry and Margaret will do whole weekend. Sunday dinner booked. Will want meals Saturday evening please.
Hope you all have a fab time
I am so jealous...
LOL
