We don't appear to have a thread on this, or a place to go post, so should we perhaps start one?

Anyway this is to point out the Man of Kent is imminent and hopefully some of us at H&SSC will be girding our loins and making the trip.

What is the Man of Kent??  Is it just a local regatta?  

I will be dusting my hikers off this year to do the upcoming winter warm up series.  I have such a short memory but no doubt i will be reminded of why i didn't bother attending most of them last year!

It's kind of a team challenge amongst the Kent sailing clubs I believe, in which local clubs gather together their finest and compete once a year in the clubs around the coast of Kent, we hosted it one year then Broadstairs, then Downs and this year it's at Hampton Pier which is over Herne bay way.

Oh alright Rupert you could wear your dress if you want to..

There's a charity thing going on in our town you could do whilst you're down here something about walking a mile in womens shoes.. In aid of some charity or other, probably against abusing children with wooden boats I think.

You should probably be aware that the Man of Kent isnt open to everyone, it is only open to members of clubs affiliated to the East Kent Yachting Association, sadly my Kentish club isnt affiliated....

Hopefully all clubs and classes have remembered to help themselves to free publicity via our calendar system.
www.yachtsandyachting.com/community/calendar/

September looks pretty crammed, with more than 50 events before the end of the month.

I don't suppose many clubs have thought to send in details of their winter series; it is worth doing! We also list events just underneath all relevant race reports. See the help pages for more info.

Isn't the 21st Bart's Bash day?   Seems a pity if they are not configuring the race to count as a Bash entry.

I thought it was kind of me to leave you such a good opening for some dresses and shoes jokes...

Why is it called Man of Kent?

You are a Man of Kent if you live east of the Medway.  Elsewhere in Kent you are a Kentish Man.  Obviously everyone aspires to be a Man of Kent!
