So then how will be at the avon open meeting next weekend? It is always a great event with lots of wind and not much room on the startline!
see you all there!

Sorry I can't be there - I really wish I could, this is amongst my favourite venues. Anyone who hasn't been before should give it a go - lovely friendly club which usually seems to find a good breeze for the event.

Cheers

Well i feel that we jinxed it somehow! There was not much wind at all!
As a quick round-up Gavin Willis won the event with Fi Lucas second and Jimmy Whitehead was third.

........and there were some vintage boats there too! Very well organised event, very friendly club - those that didn't go missed a super day's yotting! Thank you Avon and especially Fiona for keeping 12s alive there!

I would agree with you Paul. The Avon S.C. open is always a well run event. Set on the River Severn in a beautiful part of Gloustershire adds to the whole experience. I think the results were
1st   N2487 'Dolly Daydream' Paul Turner.
2nd. N1673 'Lets Go' Brian Herring.
3rd.  N1657 'Just Lucky' Brian Kitchen.
sorry I missed out the crew's names but I'm writing this from memory.
