Hi All
Who is the contact for Northampton?
I was hoping to camp on the Friday night. Will this be possible?
Who is coming out to play?
It is a fantastic lake to sail on and a great chance to get some lake practice in before the nationals!
Come play with me you know it makes sense!

Every time I've decided I'm going to make an Open this year, I seem to have jinxed myself. So I'll settle with just saying that although I definately can't make the 13th cause I'm at Fairford, I'd like to make the 12th.

Have been in touch with Moth Friend John Wayling who advises that Rear Commodore Phil Kenney will probably be organising the event.
Commodore Ian Castle will be looking after the bar.
Most importantly Elaine and Vickie will be in the Galley.... give them a hug !
Expect briefing and race details to be posted here soon.
Have asked for details on camping, access to the Club on Friday and if it would be possible to sail/practice on the Friday evening.
We share the event with the BYTE Class .... it is their Inland Championship.
Have asked Foto-Boat to attend so lets hope we see a good turnout at this fantastic venue. |

He will be bringing his Trophies from last years Nationals back on the Saturday.

I have just spoken to Northampton and said we willbe roughly 12-13 and possibly camp followers on Saturday. As they have Club sailing and the Bytes they are not too worried about numbers on Sunday. The bar is open on Friday night so campers can get in until around 10:00pm - so we will probably drive up Friday night - if any earlieer arrivals hear a sad keening at the gate, please let us in!

Despite best efforts and previous intentions, work dictates that I'm not going to be able to make Northampton this weekend. Have a terrific time however, and see you all at the Nationals.

Have spoken with Elaine, the most important person at Northampton, the Catering supremo!!!She is not normally there on Saturdays but will now be serving food on both days to keep us going. I have said maximum of 20 and she is quite aware that Bytes are also there. She had heard nothing from them so I spoke to their Secretary (OlWen) and have arranged the catering for them. They expect approx 17 boats for their Inland Champs!!

The Notice of Race, entry form, and sailing instructions are available at www.northamptonsailingclub.org. There is a slight contradiction over start time of 1st Saturday race. The notice of race says 11.30 but the Sailing instructions say 12 noon. my guess is 12 noon.
You can of course print them off but there will no doubt be forms available on the day, and the entry fee is a very reasonable £15.00
