MOTH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 11th / 14th of August 2010
It is not long now until the main event of the year.
More races than ever and an extra discard should mix things up a little. The new format I hope will help with late comers still being able to get in all the races needed to qualify. See Nationals main thread for more details on this.
Lets make this year a bumper year.
This is our show case event and the turn out reflects the strength of the class which in turn determines our future. With day entry available I think for the 1st time I am hoping it will encourage more Moths along as I am aware some of us find it hard to get the time off work for the complete event. Remember there are Trophy's for every race!
This is said every year and is said because it is true every year. Any standard of Sailor is welcome and as most of you already know the guys and Girls at the front of the fleet are really happy to be asked for help by those lower done.
We already have entries coming in and it really would be a huge help if you could either send me your entry fee or show your in tension to come along. It helps so much to have a rough idea for catering and race planning. Entry fees will be returned to anyone paying in advance that finds they can not make it for whatever reason!! Please add email address and Tel number to form ( There is space for them) so that I can confirm in those ways that I have received your entry. This cuts down on postage. Anyone who wishes for a confirmation in writing please could you state this on the form and I will of course send one out.
Don't forget this year we have added an Open so there is a full days Sailing on the Saturday for you to enjoy and help towards qualifieng for the Sommerville Series.
We all know there will be fantastic racing on offer with new and old boats competing side by side. There are of course other reasons to attend. The A.G.M will be held and there are as always some interesting and important things to be discussed. This is your chance to vote on some of the bigger issues. New Committee members are needed, the debate on a Deck mould for the B.M.B.A Hull will be discussed and voted on, The Moth Insignia and much more will be talked about. Use your voice to shape the future of the Association.
Boat tunning help is always available so come along and get some tips from the fast guys. Check out how their Boats are rigged.
ASBO and Same Same the new Claridge boats, one all wood and one composite will be there for you to check out both complete with all Carbon rigs. If you have not already seen them they are worth a look. The very pretty XMOTH made by Severn Sailboats will also be there and with its stunning rolled decks it is a must see boat. This is a good time to place an order to have your new boat ready for the complete 2011 Sailing Season.
We will be having the annual dinner and this year it is followed by Bills lively band Free Fall. It will be worth the trip just for this I promise.
We have started arrangements for a games night / competition which will include the now legendary indoor Moth Racing for which I will supply a prize for the winner.
We also intend holding a raffle so if you are not lucky on the water maybe you will be lucky here instead. We will be approaching Sponsors for this but if you wish to donate a prize it would be most welcome. All money raised of course will go to the B.M.B.A.
There are rumours of a guest speaker for another evening.
Junior races will be held on one of the days after the main racing which of course we hope the juniors sail in too.
Water side camping is free!
A food package for the week is being put together for the entire event making it a cheap and hassle free trip for everyone. You can of course pay as you dine if staying off site and wanting to eat elsewhere.
Bring the Family
There is plenty for non Sailors too. With lovely walks, Cycle hire and other activeties close by.
We really want to make this not only a Quality Racing National Championship but a fun packed Event for all of the family.
Come for the four days or come for one we don't mind we just want to see you there.
So send me your Money and be part of something special.
