Scottish Tiger Trophy

   well i dont know how many events you've travelled to recently "Far Canal" but there are a fair number of folk that now turn up eithe ron their own or sharing camper vans, i know a lot of the Finn guys do it, aswell as a fair few of the topper parents, ive also seen some Mustos do it this year and id put money on their being many more. I dont deny that a fair few folk take tents but for those who DO use campervans i thought it appropriate to let them know that the option is there.

	I'm afraid most "poor people" have tents , not camper vans , but a 1km walk every trip to or fro tents will do them good , bit of a bummer if you forget summit

	"During major events camping is available around 1km away from the clubhouse" from SSi website . Although the marina area at largs has more than ample room for camping at big events , the council have stopped them .

	Sounds good, but I would be slightly wary that the date is a little bit early. Travellers/training things (non-youth) seem to have a pretty poor attendance during april and then there is a "warming up" time until it all gets going by the end of may/june. Although it wouldnt discourage me personally then that early might turn the less hardcore away because it will be the first time they get their boats out/ camping won't be such a good option etc etc. But then I suppose conversely that if it is early you have less chance of clashing so it might be better in the long run. Make sure you have a good camping venue sorted for the poor people!

	its sort of near the club, anyone who doesnt drive i.e. the youths would struggle to get there as it is on the limits of walking distance short of getting boots and a walking pole thing if u get my drift, no1 will walk it if they were dressed but could get a txi but that will cost around £5-£7 id imagine but i doubt anyone wlould want to drive anyway given the nature of any sailing post race gathering. But yes you could certianly hold it there, why is it you wish to hold it away from the club, it would make most sense to hold it at the club although it is number restricted. I know the RS class have a black tie do every year that goes down well.

	If you made the Sat evening Black Tie then people would wearn Black tie, if not, they wouldn't. It won't really make any odds for turnout i doubt. Although the girlies do tend to like a bit of 'dressing up' so im sure it would go down well. Is inverclyde sports centre near the club?

	Inverclyde Sports Centre has been suggested for the Saturday night? Also should the Sat evening be black tie?

	yes we can very easily get a marquee just let the guys kno wot your doing and what you want and they will do there very best to make it happen. We had the youths there in 2005 in april and as fergus will tell you it was not windless and we can mobilise and set the club up for a big event at any time of the year. Im not trying to stick up too much for the club but this year its just been really unlucky for want of a better word that a lot of events have had very little wind, and yet i will swear on my boat that we have had a good deal of breeze this year just seems unfortunate it wasnt during some of the events, but id also like to point out you take the very same risk ANYWHERE. You can never %100 gurantee wind!
