anyone intrested

[SCOTT671]

calling all ski racers that have not skied competitively for 10 years how many of you would be interested in a "fun" event for 25 Min's plus a lap you could do it as a sponsored event if you want.
Anthony scaccia "anthony w167" and myself thought it would be nice to see all the old faces for an event such as this if there is enough interest we will see what we can do to arrange it for next season hopefully in Cardiff bay

Good idea, but what about the boats, many that have given up may not have thier own boats!!!

hopefully weekend of national race so there should be enough boats
many of them are still in touch with current teams

Better have plenty of oxygen available at the First Aid station !!!!! as their training may well be

You could count me in, I think that it has been at least 12 years now since I have put a race ski on. I have a boat, the main thing stopping me is all of the licencing rules, regs and expense.
I had thought about a possible challenge event (not a race) such as the Steepholm or Severn bridge clasic. If it is "not a race" then the rules would possibly be different.
Of course if it is "not a race" there would not be a winner as such however I am sure that boat numbers, a mass start and finish timing would be required for safety reasons.

Another thought would be a twin skier event, that way the oldies could tag up with an existing team?

I am fairly sure that some old and new names would be present if handled right.

I know at least 4 people who would be up for it

Barry Frame!!!

Tim Gray

Colin Gray

Wayne Maunders

hence thats why its an event not a race maybe join club for one day at a nominal price eg £20 per team how dose that sound?
do you need race licences for a club fun event

ladies and gentlemen
could we start getting some names together who are interested
so we can approach the powers that be about this event just to see if there are any objections to it and how much support we could expect

many thanks
