End of Season November Blast

[andy_peters]

At the Nationals we discussed visiting Draycote in September (now shifted to November) for a blasting weekend.

Confirmed as the weekend 14/15th Nov. so people can leave their boats at Draycote and do the Dash the following weekend if they so wish.

'Hi the 12th 13th is an option, Bart's bash weekend will be a no'

From the water manager.


So, the usual silly questions, what do we want?

Photographer?
Rib?
Food?
and i take it we will join in with sundays windward/leeward racing?

[pratn0]

all sounds good. I'm in and will be there with cheese for Saturday.

[JP233]

Wonderful, from memory a rib is £100, I can ask around for a photographer.
So as usual price to be arranged on the day.

I'm guessing same program as last year, blasting Saturday and join in club racing Sunday.


Accommodation: il try and find somewhere nice to send the parents, then Pearson HQ will be available.

Good man Jamie,  if the weather is good we will be there with Usagi

[ade white]

I will be there Saturday.Out to Greece on Sunday.  Joe possibly both days depending if he can get home.

[JP233]

Due to illness i didnt phone the water manager (cant hear anything or speak much) i can only apologise.
will try tomorrow.

[HighwaytoHelm]

Won't be able to make it unfortunately have a wedding that weekend. Would rather be blasting!

[andy_peters]

All,  the blast is being shifted to November though still at Draycote.  Potentially the weekend 14/15th so people can leave their boats at Draycote and do the Dash the following weekend if they so wish.

Jamie will be confirming this after he has spoken to the water manager

[JP233]

Have got a green light for the 14/15th of November at Draycote.

This is the week before the Draycote Dash, that means you can come to the blast, leave your boat there and collect it the following weekend and compete in the dash.

so clear your weekends, or you better have a VERY good excuse not to be at either of the events!

[RobinJones]

All things being well, and post nationals repairs holding up, Banshee will be there.

[dave_ching]

I will be going hopefully to both.
How can we publicise this to get people in to the class as try a boat?
Weather permitting I will take people for a spin the best boat for the job.

[JP233]

I have made a Facebook event, but I'm not sure how far to push it.
I could share it on all the sailing clubs home page, but that could well be annoying for people
Has anyone got any other ideas?

[dave_ching]

The plan is a little clearer now.
I will be crewless for the Blast so I will take passengers in one boat or another.
I will bring Little Chilly with me.
What other peoples plans.
As I have no interest what people have for lunch even if it is in a famous coffee chain I will let others give advise on Facebook.

[JP233]

Replying to you now from said establishment with a free beverage steaming away in front of me, I give you 3 options.

1. Curry house we used last year, in dunchurch means we can invite the non cherub people as its on their way home.

2. Drive back to pearson HQ, warwick, then walk up in to the centre for a weatherspoons.

3. Something compleatly different. (Please make suggestions.)

I would create a poll. Buy my telephone isnt having it.
