Looking forward to another HOWWWLLLERRR

[phil_kirk]

is this with the Int Canoes As offered because the date appears to differ from the date for Their regatta.

It will certainly make it a bit easier flying around the lake with less of the slower boats to avoid.

[Stuart Hopson]

yes its a shared date with the canoes

Ok at current standings i have a crew, 95% of a working boat and the desire to do at least one cherub event this year, just wondering what the plan is for camping/crashing, eating and general living for the weekend?

[phil_kirk]

Previously there was no problem with camping either in the club compound or on the grass just outside.

If the weather is horrible or people just wish a bit more comfort we will happily open our house to Cherubers. We are just north of Bristol so it is a bit of a drive back.  last year we decided to retreat to bristol after the howling winds required some boat repairing and body repairing.
Anyone wanting to travel to bristol on friday night to avoid an early start on Saturday morning is also welcome at ours.

Post code BS37 5EU tel 0770930987.  Would appreciate notice so we can have a cup of tea ready for you!

Drat, cleared the diary for the other date and moved something onto this one. Ho hum - wishing you all 25knots plus for the weekend as last time it was a giggle.

[mathew_harris]

With 25knots me and my crew (combined 28st) may even be at an advantage for once, lol. 

[phil_kirk]

remember last year quite clearly.

It would be right to say that we struggled.  Pulled off a spectacular pitch pole but survived many more nose dives.

our comedy moment was being rescued.  Sarah swapped with rescue boat driver who helped me get the boat upright and back to the slip way.  Sarah meanwhile got promoted to rescue boat driver and went off to get the Lee's and other debris.

I'm hoping it isn't quite so windy this year. At least we will be saved the regatta pursuit race.  30 boats of a range of classes with a running start to the gybe at the first mark.

Ok so the role call so far is :
Shiny Beast
Slippery When Wet
Argument Clinic
Sweet Dreams

Anyone else going to nail their colours to the mast.

[Tim Noyce]

Badgers will be there too

[paul_croote]

Atum is going

[ross_burkin]

I'm going to try and get the weekend off work for this.

[andy_peters]

Provided the forecast isn't ballistic we intend to be there

[Banshee Ambulance]

I want to come to this but Stanley is out of action after the nationals. Anyone need a crew? Could get Stanley on the water by then if I can get transport.
