Firstly off to get some summer in New Zealand then I'll be back racing the Dart at the Winter Warm up at Datchet. Its every weekend in Feb followed by the Dart singlehanders the first week of March i believe. Visitors more than welcome with special rates for entry and storage. Should be a good one. last year we had quite a few darts out and the youth squad up. ------------- |

It is worth pointing out that the Grafham Grand Prix will be organised differently this year. If we get 8 or more Fast Cats (SCHRS less than 1.14) then they will be treated as a fleet and their results will be calculated based on SCHRS ratings. Similarly if we get 8 or more Medium Cats PY 782-1000 these will also get their own results and prizes. Bob |

Bob There is a chance we could be there with the Capricorn, are we able to stay overnight in the camping field if we come up on the Saturday? What about you GP, going to make the trip from Weston? |

I will be moving the boat to Datchet this weekend so it is ready for the start of the Datchet winter series. I have completed this event for the last 5 years and it is always good and well run. it gets the season off to a good start. Hopefully there should be a few F18's there for the 2009 series. ------------- John Tuckwell Development Executive GJW Insurance www.gjwdirect.co.uk Insurance rebel without a clause. |

We will be at the Datchet Series in Feb in the F18 and i believe that quite a few more F18s will be using this series as a start to the season so should be a good cat turnout all round ! ------------- www.northropsails.com |

Hi Adrian This the reply I got from the office No sorry. We don't include one day events as camping events.
The Old Manor or Shooter's Hollow may be available.

| We'll be doing the New Quay (West Wales) Frosbite series January - March on a Hobie Tiger, if we can find room to park it. The sea is so much warmer than ponds at this time of year. |
