MERLIN ROCKET FORUM

Topic : Earlswood on Sunday 21st June

Looks as though it is going to be a good day for suntans at Earslwood on Sunday for this Midland Circuit Open.  With 16 turning out at Carsington despite a few regulars trekking down to the south coast, can we turn out similar numbers for Earlswood?

Have any more snapping turtles been seen in the lake or is it safe now? James is getting nervous now and hoping for less wind than last year!

They keep saying that the snapping turtles are in the other lake but I am told that they can walk!  So perhaps the aim should be either no capsizes or a very, very quick recovery!

I've always thought fishermen not the brightest.  Having eventually caught an obviously unpleasantly savage reptile that had been in the lake causing trouble for a while they eventually get the hook out of it and.....

throw it back in!

Weather is looking perfect for Sunday with lighter winds than last year. Hopefully all of our visitors will be going home with their masts intact.

Usual format but please note that, last night, the road over the dam was dug up and closed to all traffic. If you are coming it would be safer to approach the club from the south side just in case it is still closed.

See you all Sunday.
