Jeremy, good to see the Deacon and Lady Drummond are attending the event. See you there, if not before at the Hampton open/party.

For those who will be attending but not partaking - the whole of the racing area can be seen from the Clubhouse. Easy chair, drink in one hand and binoculars in the other!
If the wind is in the right direction we could even get a gybe in front of the club - just before the dam. (See aerial photo - club at right hand end of the dam)
If you are coming please add your name to the list.

More importantly the Merlin Dogs want to know what the club's dog policy is?
Woof.
p.s. If there is a Yoof forum why can't we have a Woof forum? Paws for thought!

A woof forum? I don't want to moderate a load of yapping and snarling...oh wait, I already do! ;o)

The pig roast on Saturday night is £6.50. - Eating at about 18.30 'ish. Followed by the Jazz band and 'refreshment' from the bar. However - you may visit the bar before attending to the pig!

Yep the tickets are a truly scandalous £6.50 for a 6 piece Jazz band and some quality pork. Tickets are stictly limited to 200, and are selling like HOT CAKES, so if you haven't signed up........

Hi Tim
Are we allowed on site on friday pm, to save time on sat.
Posted: 11/09/2006 12:53:07 By: DaveF |
Hope so as we will be there on Friday too.
Posted: 11/09/2006 17:35:00 By: Jeremy3550 |
Ah, could Friday turn out to be a late one, as the race notice says warning signal not before 11:55?
Posted: 11/09/2006 17:40:43 By: Richard (3233) |
Yep, the club will be open from early Friday for those with tents and motorhomes etc. We could even open the bar if required. (yes) If you are really early, you can even help put the marquee up!
Tim
Posted: 11/09/2006 21:47:35 By: Tim Male |

Posted: 14/09/2006 09:31:32 By: Ben 3634 |
Sorry its a lease thing. Sailing only on Weekends Wednesdays and Bank Holidays. So you will just have to enjoy the beer, just leave some for the rest of us on Sat night.

As some of you may know, Mark was assualted on Friday night and has a broken knee, so we won't be going to the inlands.
We have the old boat prize and need to return it. If anyone lives within a reasonable distance of us (Walton on Thames) who is going to Blithfield, can you e-mail me so I can drop the trophy round.
Many thanks.

Sorry to hear about that Alan. Give our best wishes to Mark.

What time is the last race on Sunday? I may pick up my new purchase after the last race.
Posted: 18/09/2006 13:09:12 By: Mark Ampleford |
Mark saw the consultant today and the news is a lot better. The fracture is not detached, so no operation and cast has been taken off taken off. Physio and self repair, first Physio went well today, swelling down and some movement in the joint. Estimated time to sailing - 6 weeks, although protective knee pads advised in case of accidental bashing but no problems with tendons.
The good news must have been due to the sympathy and support of all his Merlin mates.
Not quick enough recovery for the inlands, though.
