As a member of Warsash Sailing club I have been asked if I know of anyone on the river with a N12 who would like to attend this event. Unfortunately our boat is already at Pevensey Bay in preparation for the Champs and therefore I cannot attend.

Invite:

The National 12 and Okay dinghy are classes that were popular with HRSC members decades ago but now have none in the membership. 

HRSC found from the original minute book from 1919 that the very first meeting was held on August 6th 1919.

So HRSC are organising a 100 boat sail past of the Clubhouse from 5pm on Tuesday August 6th to celebrate 100 years since that very first meeting.

We are aiming to have at least one example of our older popular dinghies in the parade.

If you are interested and able to help I can put you in touch with the organiser Roger Pritchard.

HRSC is also having a get together afterwards from 7pm if the owners are interested.

Henry and I planning on going next Saturday to wash out the cobwebs in Happy Hour.


Early bird discount entry closes Mon night.


Any other takers?

Hi All,

As some of you may have heard, Geoff and I are off to New Zealand to live and Grafham is going to be our last open meeting...  

We would therefore like to have a beer with all our friends (thats everyone!) in the bar after the open meeting - it will not be a late one as many people will just be up for the day, but if you can join us for one that would be great.

See you there.

Geoff and Amelia
(no boat number)

ps. If anyone knows of a good home for a small cute black cat (not cheshire), we have one spare!

Hi,

Amelia and I are having a garage clearout this week of all our N12 possessions. This includes a Big Issue, homemade boom, homemade daggerboard rudder, Driver centerboard, lots of fittings (including a 10" muscle box), epoxy, carbon and laminating consumables also some end of pots of stuff.

We plan to have a car boot sale during the Starcross Open this week so anyone interested should come along.

See you all then,

Geoff

For those who are interested there is an alloy centerboard for sale on ebay. Probably a good buy for a restoration project.

Having logged on to the discussion group this morning, we notiiced two friends of ours on-line also. Being a wannabe techie it would be cool to have a live chat room to chat and see how they are doing.

What do we think of this as an idea? Can someone suggest how this can be done.

Thanks,

Geoff and Amelia
