<p ="Msonormal">I am pleased to announce that this year’s FOM will be over

the weekend of 5^th/6^th October at Broxbourne SC.  I know that some of you have fast boats and

are reluctant to bring them to Broxbourne so we have an arrangement for some

rental boats at a low cost.  Possible rental

classes are Wayfarers, Flying 15, RS Qbas, Laser 1, RS Fevas.  I also may be able to add a few tasty loan

boats into the mix.  We can camp on site

and a bar extension for the Saturday night, after the FOM 2013 formal dinner,

has been agreed to minimise the risk of raucous changing room parties     <o:p></o:p>

<p ="Msonormal">Format to be 8 races (4 each day) with races 4 and 5 being

swap boat races to be scored separately from the overall results and not

compulsory.  1^st signal to be

at 13.00 on the 5^th and no signal after 13.00 on the 6^th

October allowing for late arrival on the Saturday and early departure on the Sunday.<o:p></o:p>

<p ="Msonormal">We will work on an NOR over the next week or two.

but, I think, retiring in a sulk  ).<o:p></o:p>

Er!  I think we are running late on the NOR due to my excessive workload this year       

I can, confirm that the FOM is going ahead in accordance with the above posting.  I would be grateful if you can post your intentions - will you be coming and what boat.  Also, if you want to use one of the rental boats (modest price) also please let me know.
