Possible October Blast at Datchet
« on: June 17, 2012, 10:47:33 PM »
Hello Everyone.

Thinking about trying to set up a Blast weekend at Datchet on either the 6th/7th or 13th/14th October.  We can get my Rib up there for rescue and so long as you have a couple of carpet tiles then rolling boats over on the beach is ok.  (and it'll be good practice for the inlands at QM a month later).  Let me know what anyone thinks and I'll chat to the club about it.

Sounds good to me. I don't think we have any firm plans on either of those weekends at the moment.

Would there be a prospect of any racing?

I don't think that we can do the 13th

Yes please! Whats the water level likely to be?  I went up there in November and had to look a long way down to make out the water..
 Count me in though, so long as I can get back from uni.

Only if you promise to wear a few more clothes - just a shirt would do ;D

this may be happening. . . and with a blast at datchet may be enough to encourage it!

Well done Mr B. Do the Tubbiest's know about the '97 revival and there will be a fleet to race with at Phwelli?
Give them a nudge - we can find crew's and helms if asked....

I thought King Tubby had gone to Switzerland? Obviously back in the UK now.

Sorry to dissapoint, but I'm off to Korea on business so won't be able to sort this out anymore. However the good news is that the Rib will be back on the water for next season, so hopefully we.ll be able to get some awesome footage of cherubs doing what they do best!
