I'm pretty sure that next years bloody mary is on the 12th of jan 08

it happens to all of us, I am also a recent twelve convert, having bought my first twelve back in April. Absolutely loving sailing her, just wish I could get out on the circuit more.

If you fancy coming and playing with other twelves over the winter I have organised a winter series for them at BSC and it could be a geat way for you to get up to speed on the tuning and sailing methods- see winter series at burghfield thread for more details.

by popular demand the 23rd of december is dropped!
the video and de-briefing sounds good, we have a club video camera and I'm sure with a bit of persuasion I could pull together a crew to do some filming though with club racing going on at the same time it might get a bit busy.

I'm sure we'll be able to find a few boat park spaces and I'll arrange some nearer the time.

we're keen to come down for the training but what time do we need to be there for &rigged etc?

good to see that there is a fair bit of interest in a winter series at Burghfeld. having chatted to a few people and seen what has been posted in the discussion I was thinking of a series of 12 races (two per day am&pm) over six weekends(every other weekend over a period from late nov and ecluding Xmas.) I have no costs yet, but we have a Sailing committee meeting this thursday evening so should be able to come back with more dteail after that. possible two options to consider- pay winter membership and race as often as you like including all the club events or a reduced figure to just do the 12 events. Boat parking will hopefully be possible but again will confirm this after thursday.

I am planning to offer a winter series of some sort at Burghfield (Reading,berks) this year to keep everyone in tune over the colder months! There was a small amount of discussion about this at Burton week but no firm decisions were made so I would like some feedback as to what people might want and who might be interested in participating.The proposal is to run a series of races through the winter (am&pm) on sundays and possibly having a separate start from club racing depending on turnout. The was some talk about the possible number of evnts in the series, but I was thinking along the line of having it on altenate weekends starting either in late november or early december and running through to march sometime with dicards (how many?- open to suggestions!). I would welcome any comments and and contact from 12's that would be interested in taking part.......
