Well the bad news is Summer is over the good news is that the Pico Autumn Series starts this Sunday!!!

Race Officer is Trevor Hughes (thanks Trevor) the weather forecast is good (no rain at least maybe a bit too much wind but fingers crossed)

For those of you who are interested I will be cranking the handle on my adding machine this weekend to process the Summer Results and will send a mail out soon apologies for the delay the brain is not quite engaged yet after the summer break.

Also a big thank you to Paul Morgan and Co for organising some sailing over the Bank Holiday for the Pico fleet

We are looking for an Assistant Race Officer for this Sunday’s race starting at 16.30.

Please volunteer or swop using DutyMan, or contact me; [email protected] or 07815 113459

The kitchen will be closed today for staff break.

Normal service will resume tomorrow, Wednesday.

Apologies for any inconvenience

I am glad to say that the Picos have had a good 2 days of sailing, completing 4 races. Unfortunately I have had nobody come forward as race officer for Monday and therefore it has been abandoned.

Today saw the start of a weekends Pico sailing (20 minutes after main sailing). Scott Weller and helpers did RO duty today and Paul Chapman and Sam Petty-Mayor will do tomorrow. If anybody can offer there services to complete it Monday then it will enable a whole Bank Holiday Weekend of Pico sailing. Please let me know if you can on 07741 201052, otherwise I will let everybody know if Monday is abandoned. Thanks.

Due to things out of our control we need volunteers for the following roles during tomorrows Benfleet Shield Race.

Race Officer  –  Assistant Race Officer  –  Safety Boat Crew

This race will not take place without at least two of these position being filled as I am sure you would understand. If you can offer your help please contact Steve Healy on 07821 085700 or myself on 07741 201052.
