Clywedog update

Hi Everyone

The good news is that we will be able to host the meeting on 6/7th of August as we will have a functioning clubhouse. The bad news is that the builders will still be in so some facilities maybe not finished but we should have functioning shower/toilet facilities and basic catering. Our galley crew will have sandwiches and light refreshments throughout the weekend and we will probably have a barbecue or burgers on site on Sat pm with salads and puddings fronm the Galley.

Currently we are hoping for 3 Peggies and a couple of finns to be racing, not sure what the jolly boat or other class numbers will be?. Please let me know if you are hoping to join us for the weekend. As in Previous years you are welcome to arrive earlier in the week ans stay on a few days as well.

Clywedog update

BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have arranged a Hog Roast for the Sat night with enough for approx 100 meals. The ladies will be doing Salads and a Vegetarian option with home made puddings to follow. We hope to keep price below Â£7.50 each.

The bar will be stocked with trad ales in keeping with the vintage theme ( in bottles I am afraid as new bar kit not installed)

Keith

Thanks Keith, We shall miss the weekend as we really like Clywedog. By the way a shroud went the other day on the same boat....not too devastating though.
Good luck,
Chris

Hi Keith,

Can you give us directions from Llanidloes please. I understand the drive is quite interesting. I have a 9ft height on the van is that likely to be a problem and have you got a tractor to tow an old transit van back up the hill.

Hi Roger
Lake easy to find signposted all the way from LLanidoes.
Road is steep but not impossible. I would not want to tow a Flying Fifteen up the hill but you will be ok with a Hornet.
Cheers Al see you there.

What boat are you bringing Al?

alan williams · Post by **alan williams** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:31 pm

Hi Roger
I'll be sailing the Finn. I do not own the Hornet but borrow it from Roger Howell.
See you there or have you been invited to Lyn and Johns?
Cheers Al

Do'nt worry Roger. My old VW Camper is a regular visitor and romps up all those hills with boat in tow. See you there.

Keith,

sorry.....but We won't be able to make it this year.

I have been in a right quandry for ages as Clywedog clashes with the International Canoe Worlds in Portland the week afterwards. I had pretty much decided that I wasn't going to miss Clywedog as its one of my best events of the year....but then I started thinking about it...and didn't really want to miss the last oportunity to sail the IC without a kite at a large event, as they will shortly be going Assymetric. It felt a bit like a once-in-a-lifetime chance that should be grabbed. They do have a classic wing.....which ironically, I might be legible for...although not sure how keen I am.....this is supposed to be my 'modern' boat!!!

I was planning for a while to try and do both and do Clywedog on the measuring days....and drive Sunday overnight for the first race on Monday....but I don't feel as young or as foolhardy as I used to so decided that was a bit silly.

So.....sorry....really sorry to miss you all!!

Keith and all....

this does mean that someone is going to have to take an up-to-date copy of the PN Numbers and have a go at helping Keith do the race results.

Alan, Roger....would you be able to do that?

cheers
