Bala Whit Regatta
« on: April 16, 2008, 09:01:50 PM »
3 days of pure Bala excitement. Previous years have been windy with wind blowing right down the Lake. That's a potential of 5 miles of downwind blasting!

Kippability is available at Chateau Hopson, or camping locally if you don't fancy the 40 minute drive too and from each day.

Just so you know, if you click on the Calendar tab there are all the dates on there. I only recently discovered the calendar feature but it is pretty useful. It's on the blue tab bar next to 'my messages' and 'members'... NOT the events page on the main site.

Please add more dates for any other events which you wish to make aware to the other cherubbers, but be aware it starts a thread on the calendar events part of the forum.

bring mountain bikes too, as Bala is right in the middle of prime single track mountain biking country! Anyone who isnt fully dead after a days sailing will be after 20k on a black run  :o

There is now an outside chance of shiny getting there.
We are in the prosess of buying another tank.
No tow bar but we are working on that.
What is the Tinner situation?
Hoppy give us a ring and we will keep you updated.
