Ahh good, we now have a purpose.

Hopefully this year will be as good as last year wind wise and attendance wise. For this who donly know Stephan and robin attended last year and soon after bought a cherub (banshee ambulance)
Max also attended and is the new owner of sgt. Murphy.

Hopefully we can enlighten more people this/next year!

What are peoples thoughts on staing for sunday?
i think our best bet is camping at the green man (£12 a night in long itchington, about 15 minuet drive from draycote. the village has 6 pubs to choose from, all are reported to be very nice and all within stumbling distance (even crawling distance)

yes im awere it will be march, what are peoples thoughts.

There is also a premier inn a short distance away, if I can make it there is no way I'm camping

Lots of previous in Vago and 29er (club/open level) plus a bit on 49ers too :)

Post by: JP233 on March 10, 2015, 10:07:59 AM

Am expecting 10 boats for the saturday.
Long range forecast is looking 7-12 knots, a welcome relief from the usual 25+ stuff

I will try to book a table for 10 people at 17:30 at the local curry house. Visitors you are welcome to come to this too.


Accommodation. You have the option of a travel lodge or Pearaon HQ (sleeping bags and roll mats will be needed.)

If you want to drop your boat at Draycote on Friday night, pm/text/Facebook/call, anything but write a letter to me as I can give you a code for the gate.
Same goes for if you want my address for Friday/Saturday night?

Title: Re: Post Dinghy Show Blast 2015 (Draycote)
Post by: JP233 on March 10, 2015, 11:52:13 PM

Important:

Lunch will be needed for those that need it.
Tea and coffee facilities are available with an honesty box.

The canteen closes over the time we are on gmt.

We will be missing this one too - a poorly timed family occasion.  Looks like perfect wind if a little chilly.  Enjoy and hopefully convert a few new Cherubers

Title: Re: Post Dinghy Show Blast 2015 (Draycote)
Post by: Al. on March 12, 2015, 07:47:26 PM

See ya's soon.

Hi guys, I'll be there Saturday but Loco is still snuggled up in her kennel.

Will bring gear if only to take weight off other helms...I'm on call, so someone would have to hold the mobile - no sweat, honest.

Hopefully Loco's mast is coming up with Mr Trim

Post by: simon_jones on March 13, 2015, 06:05:51 PM

Result of the week, just had a phone call saying I'm not needed at work tomorrow. Draycote here we come:-)
Do we need more boats if so I could bring Eleanor.

Title: Re: Post Dinghy Show Blast 2015 (Draycote)
Post by: JP233 on March 13, 2015, 06:45:29 PM

My figures show 10 boats tomorrow!
Eleanor would be 11!!

Happy for you two to stay at mine if needed.
I'd quite like an e6 to be there so we can say 'too challenging for Olympians, but you can do it!'

Great time today, thanks to Jamie for organising, good to see 12 boats out so early in the season. Special thanks to Rosie for putting up with my rustiness and having a swim or two with me. Say hello to Sophie for me.

What a weekend!
Saturday we had 12 boats lined up in the shore.
Dave and Hayley were burning it up!
Robin unveiled the new look for the banshee ambulance.
Born slippy was to be seen with numerouse people being introduced to the class.

Wind was on and cold! The water want much warmer.

Sunday saw poppy, Ronin and shiny venture out with vetting degrees of success. Shiny's fun came to a prentice end when her ear fell off.

Poppy had some 1st gear issues but 2nd to 5th they were off.
Robin again had some 1st gear troubles but showed the 29ers how downwind pace is searved up.

A big thank you to Draycote for hosting the event.
An even bigger thank you has to be given to joe Thomas for sitting in an rib and freezing he metaphorical balls off all in the aid of taking pictures (to follow with the main page wrote up.)

Roll on this years events.
