I noticed the tweet "... excited about the 2015 Silver Tiller kicking off in just 4 weeks..." and this year we start with Wembley on Sunday 15 March. The prizes have arrived, food is included in entry fee, so get the date in your diary and look forward to seeing you all at Wembley.

Hey olly
Tell Hamish to keep his head a bit more still when he's filming with his Gopro.
Great vids but he's got a lotta shake...!!!

But he's always on look out for the next gust/shift!
Have you seen the one of me falling out of the boat....... hilarious!!

Is it possible to sail on the Saturday too? Only looking to practice, I'd like to get two days sailing in for the mileage.

If anyone wants to drop their boat off on the Saturday 14th before the open then let me know so I can arrange for someone (me probably!) to meet you and let you in. As a minimum that allows some early practice on the 15th. Olly - can I check and get back to you on sailing on 14th. I know another club are using the water for some GP14 Instructor training. If others are wanting to do the same then let me know. Any of the more local sailors wanting to sail this Sunday (8th) as a warm up then please come along. Racing is 10am and 12noon. If you plan to arrive before 9am let me know so I can be there early to let you in. For the 15th, the club will be open from 8am and teas, bacon butties from 9am.

Olly - yes do come sail on the Saturday. Someone will need to unlock the main gate to allow you to get your boat in so let me know nearer the time when you expect to arrive. Phone 0208 909 0816. The Welsh Harp is shared and is mainly used by our neighbouring club on the Saturday though it is free to be used by all. Keeping out of the way of any club racing and/or trainees would be appreciated.

The Vitality North London Half Marathon will mean some road closures near Wembley Sailing Club. Please see [click here] or http://northlondonhalf.com/system/uploads/2015/02/Go2-Events-NL-Half-Traffic-Map_2015_AW.pdf for detailed information. Looking at local road notices the closures are 8.30am to 12.15pm and could affect arrivals. If you come via the M40/A40 then the North Circular Road (A406) - as many will do - then coming off at Neasden onto the A4088 is fine.

Thanks to Wembley SC for a great day. Super slick on the organisation and race management. Great catering, all included within the entry fee. 40 boats, the wind blowing the length of the lake. It made a fantastic start to the 2015 Silver Tiller! Thanks again, Fran

Yes a great day and well run. We were glad the races got off quickly! Are there any photo's? I seem to remember someone in a safety boat taking pics.

Photos to follow soon. We have some 'from the shore' photos which I hope will be available today, then the 'on the water' snaps will follow. Results ready and report drafted, I just need to review the report, pick the best photos, and send to the right people..... I know the Wembley team really enjoyed welcoming everyone who came and made it a great day.

Amazing.
