A few of us had a quick chat last weekend.? I've added on a few more options and put in junior dates etc.

We reckoned 4 from 6 to count.? Helms and crews score own results and so incentive for folk to go and sail in other boats if their normal partner can't make an event.

At the moment the two in light blue so open for debate are Derwent and NE Youths at YDSC

Derwent is a English Bank holiday weekend but Scottish schools back.? At the moment there are only four boats in the north of England that I know of sailing actively and they're all good and unlikely to do Derwent after a very busy European summer.? Tom/Pierce, Athena/Maddie, Sam/Simon, Sian/Madeline.? Sally Bristow, who's from Leigh and Lowton and is also the transitioning rep said there's a multi class transition day in the spring and after that they'll have an idea if any new boats from Yorkshire Dales north.? I don't think there's much point in going unless there's some prospect of perhaps three boats joining in from NoE.?? If they had a few NoE boats they could put on a training day etc beforehand. Alternatively that weekend we could tag onto the junior travellers at Venachar so the weekend is set, we just decide venue later would be my thoughts.? Would Venachar take us?? Need another course?? It's a good venue for any new boats and we could take junior sailors out for joy rides after sailing.

NE Youth champs at Yorkshire Dales was a really good event a couple of years ago and we'd 13 boats at it from Wales north and so I'd keep it in.? I think the good boats above would support.? It's the week before Ovi champs at WPNSA so that's only issue.? It's also just being planned just now and so not 100% definite.

RYAS transition weekend is same weekend as Brown Cup training.? Think we all reckoned Brown Cup itself would be great to do with the 29er fleet.? Scottish Club Trophy is at Loch Earn 17/18th August

I've put in as many other events as I know about that might be of interest, it probably makes it more fun if we go as a gang to any that folk fancy doing but it's probably just a case of looking at forecast a few days in advance and coordinating.? If anyone has a copy of the Yachting Life dates that would be handy to fill in any more.

Celtic Cup.? David/Simon and I have discussed the idea of a Celtic cup .? 3 to count with one having to be from other side of the water.? I've put in the Irish dates and I'm sure they'd make anyone welcome that wants to go over.? Anyone any thoughts.? The two Northern events that might work for Simon etc are RYAS winters and the Northern GP in June 2020.? But their sailing calendar seems to work on normal years.? Anyway if anyone reckons they'd be interested have a word with Simon.? Robbie does have a triple trailer that sure you could borrow.

Anyway just a few thought that we can discuss this weekend.? ?

David and David from Derwent.? Are your boys likely to be sailing 29er after summer at Derwent?? It's much more fun than a 4.7!!? At one point you'd said there were maybe three there????
