Ranelagh Winter Open 2012 & Thames Area lunch

[MikeDay]

A date for your diaries - the Ranelagh Winter Open Meeting will take place on Sunday 22nd January 2012, with a 1200 start.  As in past years, the sailing will be followed at c.1430 by the annual Thames Area lunch and prizegiving for 2011.  Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you have sailed in the Thames Area this year or not.  More details (ticket prices etc) nearer the time but do let us know whenever you can if you'd like to reserve places. 

Who will be crowned Thames Area Champions for 2011?  Graham and Zoe have already qualified and are leading, followed by Dave and Charlie Peacock from the upper reaches of the Thames (Malvern!).  However, a number of boats need only one more meeting to add their names to the qualifiers' list with John and Mandy holding three firsts and promising to make a post-lunch appearance at the final meeting at Twickenham this coming Sunday.  The tension mounts ...
