Hi all just wondering who is coming out to play on the Tyne this Sunday?
Eleven am start and it should be sunny and warm (ish) so it should be a good sail! The OOD promises not to send us into the trees and the pub is on standby for after racing so what could be better? Squidgy Bits is going, who else???????????

Agent Orange should be there providing I can find all the bits.

We were going to give this a miss, but the promise to omitt the tree line section from the course could just tempt us out onto the water. Just need to sort out a babysitter.

Sorry, but I'll be giving it a miss this year. Tacking up the river is just too hard on crutches. Hope to be fit in time for Annandale but it may have to be in Xanthus and not Roly.

I had planned to be there but Seb has his first public gig with his band in Leeds that afternoon. So after hopefully earning a few brownie points meeting some traditional Mother's Day style expectations, I will be acting as roadie for a noisy rock band while you enjoy the calm and solace of a pleasant Spring day on the Tyne. Enjoy ....and hope to see you all at Annandale in April. Tim

Not seen a report as yet but in short!!-
Mark and Emma survived one lap and won. Well Done Fantastic Performance given the 30mph+ winds down the river and inclusive of 10 to 20 degree shifts just to make it a tad tricky!
Quote from Mark "Not been that fast for a while"
Howard,s:-    Steavenson fell in once made the top mark but then returned under jib
                Chadwick made the top mark fell in several times, hit the trees and came in under jib.
Philip David/John Cheetham made it to the first bend and turned round to come back (Good Decision)
Teams Herring, Purkis and Beyts dissapeared shortly after the start!   An even better decision!!!!!!!
Great hospitality and grub for those able to sail and thanks to the OOD for a good decision to shorten to one lap although if he had kept to two we would all have ended up with 9 points I suspect. Howard C aka Chadders.
