Championship Season

On final approach now for the Scottish Topper Championships at Helensburgh Sailing Club this weekend and the UK Nationals at North Berwick the week after.  The details including Notice of Race were on the Helensburgh SC website at http://www.helensburghsailingclub.co.uk/files/2011/T&O_Scottish_2011_NoR.pdf.  Entries arealso being taken on the day so hope to see you all at Helensburgh on Saturday.

There are now 32 Scottish Toppers on the entry list for the UK Nationals which is a little dissappointing given we managed to field the same number in Wales but perhaps we Scots just travel well!

We will be duty Area on Friday so will need volunteers for a variety of shore based and on water helper roles that day.  Beachmaster, On water blogger, on shore blogger (needs a laptop),Tally team, trolley dollies etc.  Also a couple of folks to help Susan set up for the prizegiving on Friday afternoon.

I have also been asked to find a few folks to help at registration on Saturday and Sunday (a good way to meet lots of the sailors).

We will be planning to erect our Marqee (actually it's a little pagoda) with bunting etc and to serve hot pasta to our sailors before launching each day if we can a get a team together.  Lelsey and Sam have now left for La Rochelle (Laser Radial Youth Worlds) so I can pay some attention to Toppers now and will be at Helensburgh so I am hoping we can firm up our plans there.
