sorry to hear that martin,but the weather doesnt look good at all,chin up

The Jackeens · 20 May 2005, 13:19

It's a shame the weather's not good and you have to cancel Martin. Particularly after all your hard work.

But well done for prioritising the needs of others especially kiddies & crew. No fun in bad conditions.

Hope you all consider running with another date.

Many thanks,

Us

sorry to hear that Martin, I hope your organisation efforts are not completely wasted and can be transfered to another date.

Are you going to come along to support team Lunasea at Stokes Bay?

What a Bummer for you, Martin. You've obviously been hoping that the weather will improve, but it just ain't happened. Thanks for the initial invite and all the subsequent hard work; sorry that on this occasion it's come to nought.

We'd love to support this event again if you rescheduled.

Thanks for the update martin.

Like others say, hope the event will still happen on a later date and that your efforts do not go to waste.

If the weather holds off we will probably be found on VHF channel 77 in the solent somewhere, maybe lunch in yarmouth.

Thanks again.

Ben and Co

Thanks for the kind words guys much appreciated.

We hope to run the event again so will keep you posted.

We will go and watch the Zapcats now.

Martin

benc · 20 May 2005, 23:17

where are the zap cats?

slimtim · 21 May 2005, 01:44

stokes bay gosport. The racing starts about 12 on sat and sun...it should be a blast!

Tim

benc · 21 May 2005, 06:19

might come and have a look, although never been to gosport, so not sure where i am going... anyone else going from soton?

Andy Stevens · 21 May 2005, 06:20

I might go?

benc · 21 May 2005, 06:22

you're the wrong way for me to follow you thought

The Jackeens · 21 May 2005, 07:01

We're going round to see the Zapcats & cheer on Craig's team (Luna Sea) but the viewing might be better from shore

If we do push the boat out

we could toddle up to Calshot & accompany Ben & crew. A few others will be around also. Will phone you back in a while Andy S.

benc · 21 May 2005, 07:11

What time are you thinking?

The Jackeens · 21 May 2005, 07:19

Starts at 12.00 so (if we push the boat out

) Calshot 11.30. We are favouring driving around at the minute because there's nowhere to stop at Stokes really Ben apart from drop anchor and hang around...could be miserable?

The atmosphere on land was good last time & probably best for viewing/photos as the beach is steep.

benc · 21 May 2005, 07:25

Don't worry about meeting us... the weather is unpredictable today, so will probably just head over to cowes or yarmouth and have lunch... didn't realise the weather looked bad today (until I opened the curtains just now)

Thanks for your very kind offer though, maybe I will come and see the races tomorrow...

Thanks again

Ben

You're welcome.

Frustratingly (for Martin & RSYC) Metcheck is showing F3/4 with balmy S - SW.

So it should be grand. Have a glance North-eastwards as ye head to Cowes & ye may see some Zapcattin' action.
