A mighty 21 merlins out yesterday, the usual hotshots fighting it out with some rockstars from other classes. Unfortunatley, the phantoms seem to be winning at the moment!

Round three of the blithfield barrel starts 17th january 2010
excellent event please do come along.

There was rumour that Blithfield had frozen is that true or false? Not sailed since the last round so was looking forwar to it.

There was just sufficiant ice to stop us launching on sunday. All marks were clear, it was just frozen around the edges including (un)fortunately the slipways.

Looking at the forecast, we will be seeing temperatures picking up to above freezing, but more significantly a change in wind direction to the south east which should clear away the ice if any remains.

A decision will be taken on Friday/early Saturday but as it stands we are planning on running it.

i am visiting the club tomorrow i will let you know if it is frozen chris and co will make a decision on friday though

Ben was it ice ice baby or liquid water? What time will the club announce if it is on or not?

Hi martin It was much diminished on tuesday, more a layer of slush than ice. Ben's popping down again today, i'll let you know the outcome when i find out from him.
