Hello all. It's that time of year again where I yet again cut 'n' paste the announcement I posted last year into a fresh one so I can announce that the first of the Winter TT Series events is taking place in a couple of weeks at Stewartby.
The format is as before. Two races, first race at 11.15 am. Briefing at 10.30 on the clubhouse patio. Open to all formats. RYA PY number will be used.
The club will be open from 08.30 so plenty of time to set up (put your boat together!), chow-down on bacon butties and sup a few mugs of tea.
The entry fee is the same at £15 and everyone goes away with a crate of beer*. A bacon butty and a cup of tea is included as well. Please ask the Galley about "Love in a Bun" but do expect to pay a little more (for the additional sausage and egg).
A typical hot meal, which is not included in the entry fee, drink and pud comes in at around £6 - £7. With luck, we'll be able to post the Galley menu before the weekend itself.
Like last year we intend running both races back-to-back rather than either side of lunch. It works well and was popular amongst visitors and members alike.
We've yet more home boats than last year and we want to see as many of you as possible. Andy B posted a separate comment on the forum about arrangements to drop boats off on the way home from Grafham and encourage you to take it up. It's free.
We had a whopping turn-out last year which will be hard to beat, so we'll look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.
If you have any questions please contact myself, Mark Norman, Andy Bunyan or Jon Finch and you can do this simply by emailing
