2008 Dinghy Show

Post by Richard C »

Could someone confirm that the Sprint 15 Association has a stand at the 2008 Dingy Show, I can’t see it listed with the other exhibitors.

Thanks
Richard

Folks,

Yep we have a number of volunteers manning the stand on both days. I'm there on Sunday with Kevin Dutch and Gordon plus a few more and Saturday we have the likes of Ray Gall, Erling Holmberg and George Love again with a few more people. So feel free to pop by for a chat and possibly some helpful tips.

It'll be interesting with the old hearing problem as to how well I can hear the questions but we'll see.... :roll:

Hi Martin
I know it is harder for you to communicate at the show than the rest of us but it is good for you to show your face and take the accolades / pats on the back for doing such a super job on our website.
Cheers

I'm looking forward to meeting some of you. Will Windsport be selling Dart 15 "bits" there?

Brian Phipps of Windsport is at the show all weekend. He is doing a talk on Saturday and is sharing the rest of his time between several stands. If you want some bits without paying the postage it is best to phone him up before hand and getting him to bring what you want. He does read these pages so he will probably add to this advice over the next day or 2
Cheers

Thanks Jas 8) ,
I will be at the show on Saturday until 2.30,
SS Marine is not exibiting this year as the Sailability stand was a great show stopper last year we got the message accross.
I can help on the stand If needed or I may be arround the bar area.
I can bring along parts if needed.
See you there,
Steve :D

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed meeting you all yesterday. The level of enthusiasm is quite infectious and I felt a lot better about our choice of boat having received so many words of advice and encouragement.
Cheers.
