Has anyone tried paying there entry fee yet.

Ive tried by bank tranfer, but there is no account name to pay into, is it to be paid in sterling or euros (guessing it would be euros) and I tried emailing the club but had no reply.

If anyone has the answer please let me know.

PS In the information on the chat page it says that we are sailing in C3 yet on page 2 of the thread it says we sail in C4, can you confirm which it is please.

[George Love]

I shall be telephoning the yacht club tomorrow by arrangement to speak with them about entry forms, fees, etc.
I shall post info. If any use after that.
I've sent my entry so should know after I've spoken to them tomorrow if it's been successfully received.
Watch this space
Cheers

Just ordered three red hand held flares from Pinnell and Bax. £27.78! Even better they're post free, which they do at this time of year . Other companies are charging £15 to £20 for postage, so if you need some, this may be worth a look.

Pinnell and Bax are reporting out of stock at the moment but they should have them inside two weeks. If you have a local chandler this could be a good idea but don't leave it too long in case they also have to restock.

Hi

We now have 17 people signed up which is great news.

Jon Pearse has produced some polo shirts for the event and Gordon is sourcing a trophy.

Does any one else fancy joining, if so I'm sure we can find people to double up with for boats and accommodation.

Thanks

Paul
