Would anyone be up for another mini blast at Carsington on the 24th or 25th of November?  It would be good to try and get the Midlands/Northern boats together again before the weather turns really cold!

I have been in contact with Carsington SC recently regarding an event for next year

I was hoping to get a two day event or the inlands for next year but unfortunately the clubs sailing calendar is rather full.

They are very keen to host us and have offered us a Cherub start at their RNLI Charity Day on Sunday 8th September 2013.

I would like to gauge the level of interest from the fleet as it the following weekend after the Nationals. This wouldn't be a travellers event.

Probably a bit far for the Atumists seeing as it is not a travellers event especially so close to the nats.

Having sailed the Stokes Bay open this year the weekend following the nationals I can say that the only reason we went was because the boat was obviously still packed up and on the drive, and Stokes is only sub 30mins drive from my house so we didn't need to worry about a long drive and booking accomodation etc.

I think that had it been further away then we wouldn't have done it and so really couldn't commit to going to Carsington this far in advance. I like the idea of an event in the midlands as it seems fair to spread the locations nicely, and having sailed at Carsington a fair bit I can vouch for it being a suitable location... but the week after the nationals would mean we were out.

I feel the same as Ben and Tim.
1 week after the nationals we are likely to be trying to regain the brownie points that allows us to go to the nationals.

maybe us locals who can, can go and join in - if they have a handicap class, but we may need to ask, as we wont have enough for a fleet start.
If we can go, we can make liaisons for a prospective 2014 open venue. We had a warm welcome at Carsington. Other venue ideas closer to the south include, Draycott, Rutland, Grafham, Pitsford...

I agree with Ade...the locals (and anyone else) should go and plant seeds for 2014. They were very welcoming to us

Can all who are intersted in attending make the 25th of November for a meet?  Let me know what suits and we can finalise arrangements. 

Nigel do you think you'll have a trailer by then?  If not your welcome to come and have a play on our boat.
