Dean and I are happy to do the Draycote dash and Datchet flyer, if the weather forecast looks ok at the time. We may also try the Tiger Trophy.

Cool Beans and A&E are still planning to do the Draycote Dash. Accom booked entries going in Friday as long as the weather forecast indicates that it won't be a drifter two days running.

Any one else joining us ? It was a good event last year but very cold -5 with the wind chill.

would be great to see some cherubs on the start!

Also,
A friend of a friend is looking for a boat and a helm for the dash.
Can fly asym or sym kites, trapeze, just want to be in a boat.

If your interested or know someone that interested, PM me.
 so if anyone is planning on using the excuse 'my crew has gone blue', there is a spare.
Thanks
Jamie

On a related but different event - the Bloody Mary.  If anyone fancies crewing for me I could be tempted out IF the weather is reasonable.

I would be interested in that Andy, as you say the weather would have to be ok.

Briefing 10:15am, first start on Saturday not before 11am
Sunday, one pursuit (120 mins) 11am datum.

NOR is available, with a link on the open meeting page of the DWSC website. There is also a link to pre-enter which some club members have already done.
Thanks
Jamie

In the occurrence of moderate non freezing conditions consider yourself booked.  Catch up nearer the date.
