Title: Midland S.C. Open Meeting 8 July
Post by: Red Hot Pudding on 24 Jun 2012, 09:10
Two weeks to go until the the MAAT Open Meeting at Midland Sailing Club.
Based in Birmingham on Edgbaston Reservoir, the event will be run in conjunction with our Enterprise Open.
The 65 acre reservoir is full and the 'historic' Firefly Trophy, currently in the hands of Tom White, is up for grabs.
Attendance permitting, we'll have prizes for AC and Vintage boats.
We're hoping to get atleast 5 home boats on the water, so please join us and help make this joint event a success for the Midland Area 12's.
Looking forwarding to welcoming as many visitirs as possible.

That's good news Tom,
I heard a rumour yesterday, that Woody will have his spanking Paradigm 2 (yet to be named) ready in time too. Not to mention A.B. the godfather, with a new carbon mast fitted to 3267!

Dolly Daydream N2487 and crew intend being there to wave the vintage fleet flag!

AB with carbon mast - that's scary! Do explain to him that vintage = wooden clinker boat not age of helm! Px :K)

Paul is correct again re vintage = wooden clinker however with the possible exception of Brian Kitching most of us vintage helms could quite reasonably be termed vintage.  (sorry Paul and of course this can not be applied to our crews who are all much younger!)

Hi Andy, I'm sure a crew can be sorted. Tom may even be able to tempt one from Olton Mere. We'll keep you posted!

I think Arthur considers himself a 'veteran'.

Forgot to mention, a hot and cold buffet will be available for lunch and the bar will be open. It would be good to see the 12's outnumber the Ent's this year.!
