May Meet ?
« on: March 29, 2012, 08:45:56 AM »
Since the demise of Whitstable, theres a hole in our calendar for an early event in May - if anyone has any suggestions where we could fill this hole, usual rules apply, launching, our own starts and prizegiving - it would be a travellers event - post here !

I can have a word at Netley, I hope to get down there this weekend. With 2 boats down there we have the beginnings of a fleet!

I think you tried Draycote and they couldn't give us our own starts...

Bartley SC is too small, otherwise I'd ask my home club.

How about Swanage? We have done holiday membership there and it's a fantastic bay with access via a private beach. Really friendly club and Gill (and others?) can go diving while we are there. http://www.diversdownswanage.co.uk/ Swanage Pier is safe and a really, really good dive.

I'm happy to make the approaches if people agree, though it might carry more weight from El Presidente

I am organising an event for the 18's over the weekend of 5th, 6th, 7th May on the Solent. Perhaps we could do a joint thing with the Cherubs?

Combined 18 event sounds good.

I would like to put in a vote for Draycote though.

Torchy,

If it is not at Draycote I doubt I will be able to bring cheese, so would be more than happy to crew/helm for you ;)

Cheers

I am Grampa that weekend...Sam is definitely away.

Gill says she can mostly cope with the grandaughters and what we might do is camp somewhere child-friendly, so they have lots to do and I'll be Grampa in the evenings if I have any energy left.

I'd happily crew for you in Cheese or we could sail Loco (I can trail either).

I suppose we wait for a decision on the event but I guess it makes sense to piggy-back on existing 18 event...and having the 18s there would be fun.

Is the 18 event 3 days?

Before we all get carried away and start booking time, this is only a suggestion list if anyone knew of any events already happenning that we might be able to use .... not a thread for club suggestions. It should ideally be a sea location, not south coast (because 3 of the other travellers events are already south coast) and ideally not be on the bank holiday - in keeping with the Whitstable event that used to be on the calendar.

A midlands / slightly more northern event would be nice as there are now four/five boats in the area  unless we have a mini midlands event for us northerners!

A joint 18 event in the Solent I could get to with a boat.

Datchet is not even north of Watford  :)

How about Rutland? It seems none of us know of events we could piggy back onto tho'......

Rutland SC website says they have an RS Sprint event open to RS 100 to 600 26th 27th May

Would we be swamped (by numbers) in such an event? Would they grant us our own start? A long shot...

Sea venues...Menai?

Another long shot - Coniston? They are running Sunday Club races in May...they might be persuaded to add a Saturday start or we could run Saturday (a blast?) and piggy back onto Sunday. Coniston would be good for Cherubs...I've sailed there a lot (in other classes)...lake runs SW/NE so gets steady wind up the valley when wind is in the prevailing direction - good beat then a run would be easy to set.
