I think you may have got the spelling wrong. Olton Mere is in Birmingham, or more correctly Solihull. Google Olton Mere and you can get to their website
:D
Thanks.
It's wrong on the 12 web site - and was last year but there was a link there then.
Not too far from me but I think I might be at Hickling that weekend - otherwise looks good.

Olton Mere is a super little club - I did a few open meetings there some years ago and they were always very friendly people and ran the show very efficiently. The pond isn't the biggest on the circuit, but the conditions are varied because there are a lot of trees! I have the dubious honour of capsizing there in NO WIND! Only a dingbat like me could achieve that.

It is also Roger Angell's home club I believe if anyone is still trying to get hold of him, or find out more about his fantastic plastic masts. Sorry read carbon for that.

We have an open this weekend coming 14th @ 11.00, all visitors welcome. 5 short races with as Richard says some very shifty winds.
Easy access from the M42 and Roger is our Chairman and still sails his Laser and various Moths he has designed ( winning most times I might add).
If anybody needs more info please contact me.
