Usual team of Angie and Myself.
Chris and Catherine

We have to go to a final year fashion show on Friday night so could well arrive late Friday night. Can we have our usual spot for the camper please.

Can I book a tow out again Hoping to stay until Tuesday.

Hail Keith, Leader of the lost tribes of the celtic sailorpeople, he of the ever lit pipe and monstrous white floaty thing and the very confused Pegi.
We greet you from the depths of the heathen lands of the Angles
Seonaidh and I are coming with the Finn. Hope to have week with you if thats OK Wednesday to Tuesday. Jamie one of the FD sailors at the present time requires a crew preferably with experience of trap and spinnacker and with big muscles.
Cheers Al
Everyday when I get up I thank the Lord I'm Welsh

[Garry R]

All being well I will be there with either the Firefly or Merlin. Either way crew needed - preferably small and nimble for Vivette. Bed inflating service available but battery booster will be brought this year to avoid embarrassing non start at the point of departure. Will arrive Friday and leave Monday night or Tuesday morning depending on weather prospects.

Roger - may I book a cup of tea on arrival? Well done that campervan!!

[neil]

We'll be there with the aircraft hanger of the tent.

Will the clubhouse be open before the weekend? We were hoping to turn up on the Wednesday in order to get all the Pork Pies from the rather good butcher before Alan gets to them.

[Jamie]

I'm going to be there sometime on Friday evening subject to my sense of direction / sat nav taking me to the right place. And the van getting me up and down all the hills.

As Alan says Still need someone to sail with. Preferably someone with their own trap harness. As mine is made to fit me, so may be a bit baggy on others.

Failing that I might have to appropriate a oppy sprit or something and go singlehanded. (This might be a bad Idea though.)

[alan williams]

Hi Jamie I have several trap harness's of various sizes from small lady to medium to fat boy size remind me nearer the time and I'll throw them in the Finn.
Al Finn Sailor Cat Sailor FD Sailor Crew (later in the year helm hopefully), as of next weekend.

[Pat]

Well camper van passed mot first time too but has some sort of fuel flow problem that it doesn't want to drive up hills!!
If it's fixed we'll be there hopefully Fri night with camper and polytunnel (awning). If it isn't fixed.... we'll probably be there Friday night with car and polytunnel.
Don't know what boat (Merlin or Lark) or how long we'll stay on after as we'd like to do some exploring of North Wales and may or may not move site (Abersoch?? Anglesey??) It all depends on the weather but we aren't reliant on the clubhouse facilities.

[Brookesy]

I plan on arriving Friday night hopefully not too late as borrowing Neil's smaller hanger/tent will be accompanied by (in order of importance, in case she's reading this) wife Jayne and Finn. Sadly must leave Monday.

[pegasus]

Sadly i cant make it will my final A-level exams well on their way i should be able to make the rest of the events though:D

itll be a shame to be missing those fantastic views anyone who has put the idea off because its too far the views are worth the distance you have to travel!

[keithr]

As greg isnt coming peggie 251 (red/green) may be available if any one wants
a go. Let me know as I will have to sort a mast and some sails out though.

[keithr]

5 days to go.

Beers in - food ordered- boat painted- marquee up.

Ready to rumble.

I will be at the club Weds then Friday afternoon.

See you all soon.

[Garry R]

Looking forward to it - but Keith can you remove the rain and freshen up the wind forecast for Saturday!! Rain and 2mph!!!! I'll be there Friday afternoon with the Firefly. Roger - kettle on!!! Plain biscuits will be fine!!

[Brookesy]

I really regret that I am unable to make it to Clwedog and am looking forward to seeing the results. The conversation at Roadford on Sunday was aboat the real race there, which to the Finn fleet was not about who was first on the water, but who was first to the local butchers for his famous pork pies!!
My money is on Alan for this one, but I'm not sure what time Neil set out this morning.

[chris]

Hi Keith Lois and I will be there probably Friday late. (lois still working)
Probably going to bring merlin 507, but then again the last time I brought her the mast went and lanced the deck.... I do now have another wooden mast and cotton sails for her but I may just leave those behind.

Can't provide any offspring for crewing duty this time - sorry folks.
