Scottish champs.

Will there be room for the Daisy Bus to park up at the club for the weekend? Those signs in the toilet blocks at the nearby campsite about washing and gutting fish are TOO frightening for words!

Ulp.... I suspect the one o'clock start is right, I haven't been alerted to any alterations to what is in the club programme. Parking the bus should be ok I would suspect, although we might need to check that for you. I suppose it depends on how many GPs we have coming.

Thanks John, I will be there, accomodation booked!! will have to see how I get on in a 12 rather than a GP! I'll get there early so if there is a chance of measuring sails there will be time. Hoping for a little less wind than there was last time I was there!! really looking forward to it. I take it the event is joined with the GP's again?

Just back from a jolly committee meeting.
1300 start on the Saturday.
GP Training on the Saturday then an open on the Sunday. Not the Scottish this year so should be a much smaller fleet.
Will be ok for Daisy Bussage.

Must have been a Jolly Meeting!! I didnt realise the event started on Friday is this correct or was it a really good meeting?

Lukepiewalker · 02 Apr 2009, 11:20

Fixed it.
My brain hurts.

That's the 'official' club accommodation list I was sent. Not sure about it's up-to-datedness but should be a few opporchancities in there.

John Hugo · 03 Apr 2009, 11:09

Thanks Kenny, you've done my job again. Pity you're going to be too busy to rig to rig my boat, which Dave winder says now looks as good as new. Unfortunately, there's still the old problem of the nut on the end of the tiller.
Let's hope the catering will be up to last years standard. I'd better make sure Angus gets his vegetarian option.

I still can't convince myself that boat is anything other than brand new....

angus · 05 Apr 2009, 07:55

Luke if you are in the rescue boat does that make it luke-as -aid?

Curry night! The Ice cream man could be needed to help us keep our cool.

angus · 09 Apr 2009, 09:08

We now have at least eight boats coming, anybody else?
Notice of race is now posted on the web site in case anybody hasn't noticed.

Tim Gatti · 11 Apr 2009, 11:07

Hi - NOR states that 6 races are scheduled to be sailed over the two days but that only TWO races need to be completed to constitute a series.
Does that mean sailing two races is all you need to do to qualify - or am I missing something? Tim

Lukepiewalker · 11 Apr 2009, 09:32

I think it just means that two races have to be completed for the trophy to be awarded.

Tim Gatti · 14 Apr 2009, 12:25

That's what I thought - so is there a particular minimum no of races we need to do to qualify?
