Put all the dates in my diary

Can you confirm the plan for Southwould, Sat, Sun and Monday

Looking to find a parent from the East to adopt this lost sailor from the Middle....

B & L says I must miss Denver

Can you confirm the plan for Southwould, Sat, Sun and Monday


B & L says I must miss Denver

Plans for Southwold are being finalised, most likely it will be a similar format to Felixstowe last year, a 2 day open on Saturday and Sunday with the option for those keen enough to race on Monday as well, it is being held in conjunction with the javelin Nationals and they will be racing all 3 days. There was also some mention of having a training day on the Saturday.

Why miss Denver? Great early season tacking practice!!!

Great job again Chris, looking forward to it already. 

[Phantom Titch]

Sorry all those Denver Supporters, I meant to to say... Must NOT miss Denver

I was so excited about getting more dates I typed faster than my brian not difficult really

Well done Chris, looking like another very sucsessful series. 

Denver is a must, not just for the tacking practice but also the great social that Dave and Mon put on.

So glad that all you guys will be coming down to my new club, hhmm that reminds me, I ought to pay some money and join!!

I shall try and put together a contact list for each event but basically go to each club website or watch the forum for up-to-date news.

As I doubt that I can get a pass for all events would all club reps please send me full results and ensure that reports are written to all and sundry...I have found that most local papers will also respond to advance notice and pictures of events hint hint..

Big thanks to Rod from Tempera-tech for sponsoring us overall and to all the individual event sponsors

See you around

Chris

[SChilds]

Well done Chris,

Can you get an article on this with some sponsors logos written up for the next Phanmail - due in March.

Series sponsors are entitled to their logo / weblink on the Phantom website for free if you would let them know

See you at Denver

[jeffers]

Send the logo and link to me Chris and I will post on the website.

When writing reports can you make sure that they are copied to Simon and me so that at least one of us will get them onto the website.

For the overall results please send them to me in html format (preferably as created by sailwave) and I will keep them posted on the site from the front page. Its only right that all of the series get their results on the site.

Cheers
MaxiB

Oh and I hope that all of you in the East have an enjoyable series.
