The sixth event in the 2010 Gill Series is to be held on 18 and 19 September 2010 at Grafham Water Sailing Club and will also be the 2010 Inland Championships.
We are sharing the event with the larks - also their Inlands, with plans in place for a great weekend with six races to be held over the 2 days. There will be a briefing at 11am on Saturday, with the warning signal for the first race (of three back to back) not to be before 11.55am. The preparatory signal for the first race on Sunday will not be before 10.25am.
The Notice of Race can be found at http://gwsc.no-ip.org/gwsc_docs/2010/NORs/GWSC%20MASTER%20NOR%202010%20-%20V3%20-%20N12_Lark%20V2.pdf (http://gwsc.no-ip.org/gwsc_docs/2010/NORs/GWSC%20MASTER%20NOR%202010%20-%20V3%20-%20N12_Lark%20V2.pdf)
Further information, including directions, local accommodation etc can be found on the Grafham Water SC website at www.grafham.org (http://www.grafham.org)
Camping / campervans are very welcome - there is a charge of £5 for tents and £10 for campervans (pre booking of campervans is essential). Food is available from the club all weekend and a disco is planned for Saturday night.
Any questions, contact Tom or myself - the number is in the book. Looking forward to a great turnout - we've had some fanstastic Gill series at Grafham in the past three years.
Hey :)
I and Maz should be coming in Le Shed.
My parents were wondering if we could bring our 9 man tent to stay from the friday till the sunday?
Thanks Tom White (N2765)
Looks like we will be there after all, now i need to find the tent.....

Tom - I think it is worth contacting the club directly about camping on the Friday evening so that they know to expect you.
Charlotte, I've just seen a post on the Lark class forum saying that we need to book camping. Is this correct? I'm probably going blind but I can't see anything about it on our or the sailing club website.

The NOR only mentions pre-booking for campervans not tents.
We are planning on being there with TC
Jeremy is right, the NOR does state that pre booking camper vans is necessary but not for tents, however, if you intend to arrive on Friday evening and camp, I would suggest that contact is made with GWSC to ensure that this is possible.
Grafham is in the middle of the country. I am sure stealth camping is possible on a friday night...
We are coming - looking forward to seeing lots of people there.
Hello All,
John Cheetham and myself will be there in Pillow Fight N3468. Looking forward to some good racing! :)
I will be bringing my family and my brother is hoping to sail, so anyone who is planning on coming to this particular event and is in need of a crew then i have one available for anyone who is interested.
My brother has sailed 12's on a few occasions and is a reliable crew in the front of a 12. Has been to a variety of events and has achieved a variety of results, including a 1st place with Mark Simpson (Aardvark Issues) at Yorkshire Dales. He currently weighs about 9.5 stone and is about 5ft 8in.
Any response would be greatly accepted/appreciated.
Many thanks.

I think i maybe putting in an appearance, now i have just found the boat sitting at the bottom of the garden....
Just a reminder that the Inlands and event six of this year's Gill series is at the weekend at Grafham. Looking forward to seeing lots and lots of people there and to some great racing.
