absolutely agree, a few here and there no problem, and in fact we are tagging on the back of the shearwater event so, that's out of our hands, and very good idea it is too. But as you say Greg, where is the line to be drawn. It's not only for one event either, but for 3.

being devils advocat, could be the thin end of the wedge. What would happen if the MR's wanted to piggy back a cvrda event, or the OK's ? Or the canoes?

personally, o think the ntionals should be on school holidays to maximize attendance. whilst i agree that any date will not suit all, surelay a best case is best.

Toilets, well yes - a problem, even keeping the tolilet...

i really really hope tobe there, in the OK. not sure about other stuff though, I'll have to speak to the boss

yes

not much more to add really. It was great, i enjoyed myself, even during the start line capsize with 2 minutes to go Still not sure how it happened.

Thanks to all

Stu

We're planning to be there. Probobly in the OK. We'll be staying at Lizzys folks who live just up the road. Lizzy is really looking forward to it as she spent a lot of her childhood at netley waiting for daddy to come back !!
