Yes folks it's that time of year again. This weekend sees the Shoreham Easter Cup on the Sunday and Monday. There are 2 good sea races a day, starting at 11am. Don't forget clocks go on this weekend.

Also the 5 day Adur Beer Festival is on at the Red Lion, so plenty of choice to wet those taste buds.

If interested please give me a call or email. Boats can be left at the club overnight. Usual £10 a day race fee applies for visitors.

Hope to see plenty of you there.

Cheers, Ross

I'll be there too.

I see from your emaail address you've moved jobs to Tesco??

Ha ha Ben. You and Phee around Thurs/Fri night?

Is there anywhere sutiable for our 12 week year old puppy?

Er is thisa  serious question???

Alan the Shoreham site is about an acre of grass so good for dogs. Don't think you can leave it for 3 hours while out sailing mind.

Think we are upto 7-8 Merlins already! Jackson house getting booked up fast.

did i remember to book in in the Jackson Hostelry or not last night?  Bit tiddly pom you understand...

Great for the dog then, my wife will be onshore!

Never been to Shoreham, but my boat has!!

Pretty definate for Sunday. 
Maybe Moday, but what time is the racing expected to finish on Monday, as I have a bl***y work call to take at 2:15.

Chris you are booked in alright. Beef roast I believe is on the menu Sunday night!

Alan you only need do 3 of the 4 races so could live early on Sunday if must. I reckon each race is 1 to 1.5 hours, depends on the wind and the PRO. Alan Chaplin likes big courses as we all know!

Look forward to seeing you there

Ross

What are you on Ross ? I'm not PRO this weekend - in fact I'm in Switzerland but even from here I can see that you are in the third rank !!

Just a general comment Al. Think Chris Lintern is PRO on Sunday. Word of caution he does hang around so the gun will go at 11!

doesn't hang around?  Beef sounds good....  
Mmmmmmm

Thanks for picking me up on my grammar Chris!

Very interesting about Sunday, but I asked about Monday :-)

How did it go?

Had 8 Merlins turn up over the weekend. Sunday saw a fairly shifty off shore force 2-3 wind. There was plenty of changing places especially in the 2 race. Sadly there was not enough wind to race on Monday.

Overall top 4 were Merlins, even with new PY of 1000, (I here Whitstable are also thinking of changing their PY).

1st Lauire and Chris 3pts
2nd Liam and Alex 4 pts
3rd Will and Tom BP 6 pts
4th Ross and Dave 7pts

Sorry Ross!

You may have missed out the detail of you being sick in the back of a cab after only drinking three pints.  You argument the next day ‘it was strong and fizzy beer’

Our let you fill in the part about the young lady you walked home from the Indian on Sunday night……

… and the reason your not joining us this weekend at Salcombe?

haha. How come you arent going to salcombe this weekend?!

Mate you yourself were pretty sick Sunday!! Also was not the beer in my case but stupid shellfish.

Ah and I did ring that girl back and seeing her this weekend.

Hope Salcombe is good

Ah, the old "It's not the alcohol it's the seafood" thing.

Take more than that to fool us lot

Kids today, soft doesn’t cover it.

Barman, halves of lager shandy with ice and lemon all round, and don’t spare the lemonade.

Dear Unbeliever, I would have blamed the beer too had both my parents not been ill as well after said shellfish.

And I'll bet they didn't have a few beers did they lol.

Thanks for the bite

was there not 7 merlins?

Don't you mean 'were they not'...

6 on Sunday and 8 on Monday.

Ross, you can't come sailing with me in salcombe this weekend, but you can see a girl you met last weekend? im hurt. and helm-less if any one is looking for a crew. xx

I'm going to hurt her!

Easy tiger!

hurt who?

He must mean the 17 local he met last wkd!

That was not me you nasty impostor. And no Ben she's not 17. You and Fi down the Shore Bar tonight?

Is this the place to discuss under age sex? Although; "If they are big enough they are old enough!"; As the father of teenage daughter I'm not sure I agree!

I think you'll find the age of consent is 16 in the UK.

Might be time to kill this one now mod

Holding back to see if it dies a natural death....

I have noticed that there doesnt seem to be a report for the shoreham easter weekend or full results? When will we get to see this?

I gave you the top 4 results (the Merlins). Do you really want all the rest of the Shoreham boats that aren't Merlins....

For social gossip over the weekend Alex or Liam would be best bet. Think there's been enough about me already!

So was it worthwhile you not going to sail at Salcombe with mega re: your dates with the delightful teenage witch????

we must be told!

Chris I take it that's you!!!

i WOULD NEVER BE THAT CRUEL!?!

For those who asked

That is discrimination, not only did we have to sail with 1000 handicap, boats with 19 & 22 points o/a get placed higher than us with 18 point o/a.

Race officers obviously don't like Natt, after the Cookham finishing signal fiasco and now random positions!!!

Sorry Alan / Natt for that. I alreay pointed out to our results guy that the places were off. See if we can get a new version done in due course.
