Oxford Winter TT 7th December

[pegums]

Hi All,

Looking forward to seeing you for the next winter open at Oxford SC which is at Farnmoor reservoir just off the A34/A40 (About 5 mins from each). OSC is a Thames water reservoir with plenty of water and dead easy launching. The only faff is that you will have to drop off boat and gear and then put car and trailer in the car park. I am planning to follow the very successful Stewartby formula so £15 entry, 2 races back to back, briefing at 10.30 first race start at 11.15, 45mins - 1 hour duration. That should see us all finished and heading home for 3pm, I will time the prize giving accordingly. I am going to chat to 'catering' tomorrow so will post another update tomorrow pm. You will need £2 to get out of the car park or if I am around and near the barrier I will swipe you out with my card ! OSC is a great sailing location as its high up so the wind is usually pretty good (yes I know thats the kiss of death) ! hope to see you all on the 7th.
cheers stewart

It's great news that we visit new clubs on our traveller circuits and Oxford sounds ideal.
At Grafham there was talk of filling the February Winter TT slot by a visit to Datchet to make the series up to 5 events again (thus fullfilling Erling's aim of having one traveller event every month of the year ).
Is there any news on this?
Cheers
Bob

As far as I know the Datchet event takes place on 8 February. It's in the new Mag. to that effect from what Erling said at Grafham

Hope to see lots of friends at Oxford next week, we have 4 boats coming from Shanklin.

Hi All

Rangers usually open the gates at 8.00 (use the gate furthest away from Farmoor village).

See you Saturday

Hi Stewart,
As the local man have you agreed to do the race report? It usually falls on the local man. Also if you can get one of the rib drivers to take a few pictures that would be champion
Cheers

Carter's silver tongue strikes again...

Well volunteered Stewart!

[Ed Tuite Dalton]

Really disappointed I won't be able to make Farmoor this year as I am away on business. Have a great race and see you at Draycote in the New year.
