Title: Staunton Harold Saturday 17/5/14
Post by: paul turner on 14 May 2014, 09:36
Greetings.

Staunton Harold is a fine pond with great facilites but they have no N12s - two friends have been running the N12 open meeting as a special favour to me for several years. However with the numbers being a bit on the low side last year and in 2012 they have expressed the strong hope that there will be a good turnout this year (for totally reasonable financial and political reasons!).

Two stalwarts of this meeting (namely me still recovering from surgery) and A N Other will not be able to sail this year so I really need to know asap who is planning to turn up and compete.

Please email and/or post. If the numbers are too low we will have to look at cancelling. :-/

I have spoken with SHSC and they are going ahead whatever as there has been direct contact from one, possibly more, interested parties including someome from Midland. If there aren't enough boats they will incorporate the N12s into their handicap fleet so we are guaranteed several well run races on a decent pond! Px 8)

Unfortunately I cannot make it as I am sailing my British Moth that weekend.  What I can say is that we had our Nationals last year at Staunton Harold and it is a great club and a very nice piece of water.  Would be a shame if I couldn't take the N12 next year.
