TASA EVENT QMSC

old dog new tricks then....

not that I'm saying you're an old dog GRF, oh no.....

You can blame me for the two man, single trapeze, assy format ... the event was conceived in Autumn 07, the idea being to have one event where we can get the less exotic asymmetric classes more involved in TASA.

Details are finalised with Queen Mary SC, and June is just finishing off the Notice of Race:

Saturday 28 June: Briefing 12.30, start 13.30, 2 races back to back

Sunday 29 June: Start 11.00, 3 races back to back

Races will be around 1 hour duration, on a windward leeward course (possibly a trapezoid or gate if numbers mean we have to avoid crossing upwind/ downwind boats at the windward mark)

No discards if 1-3 races run, one discard for 4/5 races

Results will be extracted from the Sunday racing for a one-day 3000 class open

Entry £30 for the TASA event over both days, or £20 for any 3000s only racing on the Sunday

Glassware will be awarded, plus a spot prize sponsored by the 3000s and Noble Marine Insurance (sail numbers in a hat)

With uncertain numbers, there won't be entertainment laid on this time, just a meal at a local pub. There is camping nearby (see the QM website http://www.queenmary.org.uk/)

Contact the office at Queen Mary SC, sailondon@queenmary.org.uk, 01784 248881, for a copy of the Notice of Race or to enter. The NOR should also be on QM's website. Advance entry recommended.

Please pass on details to anyone in your club/class who might be interested, to help promote the event!

I think the TASA organisers have been doing a great job, considering ... anyone prepared to help out with arrangements for other events?

Sounds uncannily like the same event to me

Event details were a bit fluid until finalised with the club ... the info in the last yellowhammer post was agreed with Axel F and Queen Mary (the Notice of Race should be on the Queen Mary website by the weekend)

I agree we could maybe have opened it up to all TASA classes, but we'll stick with the original intent of encouraging the 'lower classes' this time (and maybe learn lessons for next time ... plenty of opportunity to air views on how future events could be organised when we're there)

The 'trimmings' are cut back due to limited organising effort being available, but then so is the entry fee

Should be worth the trip, whatever

Originally posted by Neal_g £35 quid kinda pricy for a 2 day event if you ask me after factoring in transport costs accommodation etc for that kinda price i;d be hoping for an evening meal thrown in and maybes a free beer or 2

I don't know if that's pricey or not as I rarely travel to events, however, I've just had the RS Vareo Nationals info drop through my letterbox and that's £75 for three days if you book before the 10th July, or £95 thereafter.  I've no idea if that's a  good deal or not.........I know that I can't afford it and won't be attending

That is so typical moron skiffyhead with no idea but bang corners and
upturn in full view of Weymouth S.C.

Lower Classes - f**kwits.

Just the way to encourage folk.

Never mind sailors probably twice as good, with ten times the experience.
