Hi everybody.
It's Sunday race day again and what a perfect racing day it was too. The water was flat calm, no wind as you would expect under calm conditions and beautiful blue skies, it was a little cold at first but the excitement of the race soon warmed us all up.
If we keep the excitement of racing for the visiting public, the Council will have to build an even bigger car park, well done to the Council for providing this facility!
We had six heats today which is more than we have ever had and we all had great fun, Andy didn't manage to get to the first marker before FOUR other boats managed to capsize him and put him out of the race! Well we can't have him winning ALL the time, can we!!!
Thanks once again to Dave B and his team for getting everything out of the Leg and organising the morning and also to Rob for scutineering the racing.
We had a good turnout on the landing stage for scale and the slower boats and Dave M counted a total of around 30 members at the lake this morning, which is really great.
If you read this blog before Tuesday and you are coming to the General Meeting at the Stanley. Can you think about the boats you will be displaying at Haydock this year and give a description of each one to Ian Jones for him to produce A5 notices to be displayed by the side of each model on the stand thus making our stand look more professional.
I am sorry for going on about this but will ALL able-bodied members please help to put everything away at the end of the day and not leave it the people who always do it. IT'S YOUR CLUB and we must all do our part. You might even receive the Club Trophy for "most outstanding member for the year"!
We finished for the morning around 12.00 and after tea and toast left for the day.
See you next Sunday for general sailing? it is Easter Sunday.
