Potential Jenny Lee Trophy (NWNW)

[Roly Mo]

I have spoken to Peter Beck tonight and he says that he thinks that OSSC would be happy to run the Jenny Lee on the evening of Thursday 6 August, with a 7pm start.  We are sailing at Blakeney that morning and Snet isn't till the following morning so it's a free evening.  I have promised Peter (who is going to talk to OSSC's Sailing Sec) that I will get back to him with a response from the class, so who else is up for joining RM/ICM (who might just go Vintage - and I don't mean in terms of sartorial elegance) for a lovely evening sail at this very special venue?

PS  This leaves Wednesday free for crabbing!

Sounds good to me, it would be a shame not to do Overy Staithe.

On several fronts it would be nice to see all the Twelves that have entered for Norfolk to sail at the Jenny Lee. One it is their sixtieth anniversary and the Twelves have been to each and every week since its inception. Two, we are the only fleet that are invited to sail at this wonderful Norfolk venue. Three and on a purely selfish point, Overy Staithe has some wonderful memories that range from death and destruction when a line squall came through, enjoying Mrs. Plume's fruit from her nearby farm to seeing one of my brothers disappear up to his neck in water as he was wading his boat down the incoming torrent of water sluicing up the creek. If you are going to Norfolk and have not ever done the Jenny Lee, have a go and you will see why so many people enjoy sailing there.

Sorry, forgot to add this to my last bit. Overy Staithe is the ideal place for the amall kids to have crab fishing competitions and races before the big kids have their race on the water. RM and I will have to work out some sort of handicapping system (we will have to be careful if it is worked out on age and or experience of Norfolk as that would mean that Jerry and Patrick would have to weigh their crabs in by the ton!). The use of exotic baits such as Parma Ham will immediately lead to disqualification.

count me in,for  the sailing that is

[John Meadowcroft]

I like the idea.  Blakeney is 0715 and Snet is 0700.  We shall ask the babysitters - it will be pretty full on for them!

[Roly Mo]

It is a wonderful venue for a family night out - the chance to walk along the path and watch the sailing and then crab and/or picnic whilst you wait for the boats to come back.  Definitely worth encouraging baby sitters to come along and join the fun for at least the start of the evening.
On the basis of support to date I will get back in touch with Peter and say it looks like we have a fleet.

[paul turner]

Will be there! :K)

[Roly Mo]

I have written to Peter and Melba tonight saying that the fleet accepts OSSC's very kind offer and that we are looking forward to our sail at Overy very much indeed.

[Tim Gatti]

The Gatti boys are up for it too!

[grazz]

Yes, we're definitely up for it, the babysitter will never know it wasn't part of the original assignment (as long as none of you lot tell her that is). Do crabs like cheese?

[samlaw]

I always found bacon the best, but that was some years ago.

[Alex D]

Only the vegetarian ones. They really like bacon bones best.
