Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event, a lovely day followed by a great social.  Here's to next year!  Big thanks to Gul for their sponsorship, my two are fighting over who is having what!

The NOR is on the Ripon SC website but I understand that is currently not available as the website is down.  First race 11am, briefing 10.30am, 3 races 2 to count is the plan.    Hoping the forecast rain becomes a myth!!

Zone champs duty that weekend . . . flying the flag for the Tera class in the North of England.  Have fun!

Would love to be there as it's a great venue but suspect the diary is going to be too full of other stuff.

Our lovely new caterers have come up trumps with a super menu for the Saturday night meal.  You can sign up on the day - £7.50 for adults and £5 for kids - the menu will be posted on www.ripon-sc.org.uk shortly to tempt you!  Please encourage non sailing friends of the class to come along and join in (Chadders - Mike and Margaret, Brian and Ann?) too.  We need final numbers by the time racing starts on the Saturday morning so if friends are going to come along can you book their tickets when you enter?
So far no-one has indicated that they want to camp over on Friday night, if you do want to arrive on Friday please let us know so we can be there to let you in.  It is unlikely that the bar will be open on Friday night  but it will be open on Saturday!:)

Had a lovely chat with our new caterers today and they are working on the menu for the evening meal . . . sounds good so far!  Children's options available too.  More details to follow!

We love Burton.  Great venue, lovely friendly club, accessible and the camping on site is a bonus.   Mid summer is good for us, this year Ellie chose to do the 12 event rather than the Tera Inlands - they are 20 and 21 June next year and my guess is she'd choose 12's again if there was a clash, and yes she has forgiven B for being over the line (eventually!).

Yes, the double header Yorkshire weekend is nearly upon us with racing at Ripon SC on Saturday 4 October and at Yeadon SC on Sunday 5 October.  With the added attraction of the Ripon meeting being part of the Gul circuit we are hoping for a great turnout.  Camping available at Ripon on Saturday night (Friday night if arranged in advance with us), and our usual ace race team of Tez N'Babs and Chris you can expect all the usual windshifts and great hospitality from both clubs.  Evening meal at Ripon SC on the Saturday night, an indication of likely numbers would be much appreciated - for both the sailing and the evening meal.  We may even devise a quiz!  
If anyone needs a crew please let us know asap and at least 2 weeks before the event.   Crews wanted ads to us for Ripon and to Tim for Yeadon please.  Both clubs have lots of good juniors who might like to take part.
Happy Sailing
Jennie, Bernard and Ellie

Thank you to everyone who made this wonderful event happen, and to everyone who took part.  Also big thanks to Burton SC.  A great weekend all round!

Bernard and Ellie will be there in N2149 Xanthus, dogs and I will be on the shore supporting!
Have you all got your Tee Shirts ordered - the graphic is fab!

It will soon be time for us to get the old boats on the water for a weekend of great sailing at Burton SC.  It was a fantastic event last year and we are all looking forward to our return visit, bringing Xanthus out of the garage for some practice this weekend at Yorkshire Ouse!
The wonderful guys at Wave are just waiting to take your order for event clothing - tee-shirts, polo shirts etc and have worked hard to create us a fab event design.  Follow the link in my previous post and get those orders in!  Note to self . . . must do our order!

Thanks Angus.  Disappointed not to be coming - will try and get the Mariner Mug there via Ed and Tom Storey, and would you be so kind as to give our best wishes to John Hugo too?
