Who is going?  This event needs some N12 support or it will disappear.

Jerry,
Sadly Jo and I will not be able to make it, not having a boat or any babysitting has finally accounted for our attempts to be there.

All of the details are at:

I have drifted round Twickenham once and swore never again!  Waldringfield is the place to be this weekend.  Its you last chance.  If no viable N12 fleet this time the Twelves will almost certainly be dropped.

OK - summon up some of the East Coast fleet to go to Waldringfield - which is a brilliant venue but let's not forget the heritage of the 12 fleet at Twickenham - the trophy was presented in 1936- and the event has great appeal to some of us peculiar types that really enjoy the different challenges of river sailing! I've "drifted around"  there, sometimes in gusts from nothing to force 5 or 6, and gone back year after year and always look forward to it. This is another event that needs our support if it is to keep running and hopefully it will help to regenerate their home fleet.




Cheers
