Calling all those boats 3066 and below - come to Banbury on Saturday 19th August for a day of enjoyable vintage racing.  Good food, cakes and drink as well as your chance to see if you can go faster than Kate.

Three boats guaranteed from Banbury (or at least they had better be!) so only a few visitors needed to get to double figures.

Send me an email or give me a call on 01926 812694 if you need help with accomodation or crew - we may have several lighweight crews available to the highest bidder.

hopeto be there,
chris
merlin 6 or 507

Doing what I can to get to Banbury/Daventry environs with 1791.

So that's five.  What about Kate, Magician and all those vintage boats that live down on the Thames?

Sorry I can't make it this year but I'll be at the CVRDA nationals the week after then on to Hampton the week after that.

Apologies but we've agreed we'll probably meet up with family in Devon and hopefully take them out at Roadford to revive an old hobby. Have fun.

Hello Richard, Ishall be there and I expect another half dozen oe so

Thanks Mervyn - I was counting on you.  So far we know of three visitors + 3 club.  Nice to hear from anyone else that intends to come along just so that we can get the cake organised!

PS Is shameless advertising category A, B or C????

Can't come and join in the furniture rally this year - bit of a shame really, it's the first in 4 years that I've missed.  Oh well, stuck in virtually freezing Melbourne A.E.P. checking out yacht clubs in my spare time so can't complain too hard.

Have you finished polishing your old Merlin Big Turnip, you've had it long enough - time it got some fresh air surely?

Will the Levins do the business this year or will Richard extract the digit, take part in the racing and bring home the bacon?

Don't miss it folks, it's really rather a good day............

Richard If u can get me an old crate I'll be there

Tosh

All the old crates that float at the club will be there (or at least they had better be!).

Do you know any at Wenbley or elsewhere that could be persuaded to come up and lend you their boat?

Richard,
Sorry I won't make it this year. Still in the USA.
Nick

Ok Nick - hope to see you next year - you've just got time to sail across!

Sorry I can not make Banbury with Magician, i am still having problems with the leak that kept me ashore at the Tideway. 
By the way Magician lives in Birmingham not on the Thames
