Yes, thank you everyone who made it such a great week and how glad was I that we didn't have to sail in the rain that drowned us on the way back!
I am now in the process of sorting out the photos my mum managed to take during a couple of the races - though I'm having to delete a lot of pictures of just the water (tongue) - they should be in the gallery very shortly!

does anyone know if a photographer was asked to attend Burton Week? I don't remember seeing one out there this year...

Do not recall seeing you out there much either Mike!  I don't think I can recall us ever asking photographers to attend, they just show up.  I did see a camera pointing at us at least twice, Graham Iles and Pips mum?

I thought that the on-water week was excellent, and the PRO deserved a medal for his efforts to provide even vaguely decent racing in the light and fickle stuff.  It was a pity more people did not show up as that might have improved the social side too.  Looking forward to that very friendly welcome that we had from the catering volunteers at Porthpean in '06!

All the usual thanks due to Janet, Michael, Kevan, Nigel and Hannah.

p.s. Does anybody know the venues from '07+?
