[dinner bookings etc]

I am getting a tad confused - it's easily done at my age and trying to do night shifts too!

But could everyone pls let me know dinner bookings etc by email  -  christinepreston@talktalk.net  or mobile 07914786391

 ie.  Sat eve meals, races etc

Even if you think you have already let me know, a quick email would be great - better I'm told twice than you go hungry on Saturday evening!  Otherwise you'll end up with a chip cob and a pint of beer  !!!!  or even worse a cob and a pint of beer  ??)

Also anyone hoping for a boat from the Breaston N12 museum - pls double check - they may be overbooked - again synapses not working too well when hindered by age etc etc etc

Really really looking forward to seeing you all at the weekend, still plenty of camping space in the grounds or cabin bunks for the luxuriously inclined;  simple breakfasts will be available on Sunday morning (paye), pls see earlier postings on this forum for race details and catering details.  again - mails pls to confirm & I'd rather know several times over than not at all.


I'm here on above contact details...  pls let me know your preferred requirements.  - and bring your cameras - there may be some interesting photo opportunities that Kevan may miss.......

still no word regarding weather/winds/sun etc  ----    this is UK what else do you expect??

muchos gracias

Hello all,

To help with planning the event - especially the Saturday evening dinner, we would be pleased to have indications of numbers, bookings etc sooner rather than later.

We have prayed to the gods of N12 Open meetings for perfect conditions but are still waiting for their email response.

To help with the evening event, we can be flexible about the fancy dress, we know some are a bit theatrically challenged and would prefer to come incognito - not in fancy dress   

Really looking forward to greeting, meeting everyone for the weekend.  Please do let Christine (Preston - yes she changed her name to confuse the life out of everyone) know by phone 07914786391 or mail christinepreston@talktalk.net

Please watch this space for updates of details.  Booking can be informal to the above contact details until the entry form is posted on the website.

many thanks
CRU 12
