INTERNATIONAL EVENTS

UK NATIONAL EVENTS
Thu 28/6/2018 - Sun 1/7/2018
NATIONALS: Stone SC, Essex, Blackwater Estuary.
Now here’s a novelty !
For anyone interested, Stone SC are prepared to run a week long series from Mon 25/6/2018 through to Sun 1/7/18 in conjunction with the Nationals for the last four days. This series is for those who wish to race one race a day, be they ‘Coffin Dodgers’ or for those who want a holiday week with canoe sailing, with time to talk, adjust things at a leisurely pace, learn and with more time for the family and for socialising, or maybe for the ultra enthusiasts who wishes to get 3 days more sailing in before the Nationals.
BUT …. I need to know numbers in advance…. like now, in order to confirm these additional days. There needs to be a commitment, in principle at this stage, by at least 12 of us otherwise it won’t happen.
PLEASE POST YOUR REPLY IF INTERESTED.
To reiterate - the Nationals are confirmed Thu 28/6/2018 - Sun 1/7/18 but I need to know if you intend to race on Mon-Wed 25/6/18-27/6/18.

Great idea Tony - put me down for it please. On another subject, I am a little disappointed that for the third or fourth year running there are no events north of the Watford Gap. I have heard rumours of a Northern Circuit. Hope it comes about. Cheers

John

Full week looks good for me please, but I will need to check with my social sec.

John,

Just picking up on your email about Northern Events. Not true any more as Northampton is (just) north of Watford as is Berlin, Ullswater and Dee/West Kirby (secondary's but yes, you're comment is noted.

The problem is that we need someone in the North to act as the Class Rep and actively promote and find venues who will take us for an event and come up with some ideas.

We do have the Birkett and Dee/West Kirby as secondary's but what other venues could you suggest? We could do a Pop Up event somewhere if you can suggest a location and get the necessary support.

Can you northern chaps have a discussion about this and come up with some ideas and put forward someone to represent your interests ...... you perhaps John?

Steve, sounds like great effort by all involved. What were the nature of the enquiries? AC’s, Nethercott or IC?

A really good fixture list, the best I have seen for a few years. A big thankyou to all who organised these events. I would hope to be doing nearly all of them myself.

ps I am sure The Northern Power House Alliance Trophy events will welcome all of you Southerners.

Regards John
