Who wants a room at the Class 1 'shrine'? I think it'll work out about 20 squids a head if sharing. First come first serve.

I'll see if we can get a volunteer to act as water taxi for anyone needing to get back to Plymouth ...but Chris reckons plenty of other accommodation around.

Remember there is no great plan...just a get together and see what we want to do as conditions permit.

I had a night out there recently and great fun. For those thinking about children, a much better venue than Plymouth on a saturday night!!!

Hi Everyone,

would be good to get as many boats in the water by 10.30 as we'll try to get the local press there for a beauty parade..

Tide times are perfect:

Sat 15th 04:50 2.01m L - 11:09 4.34m H - 17:24 2.25m L - 23:51 4.42m H
Sun 16th 06:20 2.26m L - 12:56 4.20m H - 19:12 2.35m L

For those getting out low is not so good on Saturday.

A30 · 07-03-2008, 12:50 PM

I will defo be there on the sunday and maybe saturday too with the Cat

Sounds like a few are coming...A kinda mini meet that will end up out doing an all classes national weekend!
But I guess when theres no pressure and no major cost it all changes.

See you there

freedom · 07-03-2008, 07:22 PM

Bob

Dan · 15-03-2008, 06:58 PM

Hoping to come done tomorrow at some stage. Couldnt find anyone to give me a hand with it today hence no show. Took a wonder round QAB and saw a couple of the hondas, and a nice looking bernico tied up (A77) before it threw it down!
Water did look flat tho and the sound looked as quiet as I've seen it.

fatboy slim · 16-03-2008, 06:44 PM

Thanks for 2 good afternoons in Plymouth sound, nice for OCR to have a play with some hondas. Anyone else want a practice just let me know

gmc · 16-03-2008, 06:47 PM

hi just to say thanks to rich for setting up this weekend. Had a good day out playing in plymouth sound with delmar fleet and scream-it.com .Hi to the kingbridge possi who turned up as i was getting out off the water .See you at torquay. john archer

OCRDA · 16-03-2008, 07:24 PM

Here, Here Well done Rich !! Nice to meet some like minded people and catch up with some older ones.
Good weekend.

Hi everyone, thanks for taking part and it was great to meet a great bunch of people! Despite the initial drenching on Saturday morning we had a good sea and some great fun. I look forward to another get together and seeing you all again for testing etc as it's great to run with others.

Hopefully the start of something as discussed. Apologies to QHM as nobody seems clear of the speed rules in Plymouth Sound and for everyone's benefit it's 10 knots inside a line from the end of Mountbatten to Fort Picklecombe..400 meters off the land so useful bit of input from Mr Plod! Slower toward Sutton and QAB of course.

See you again soon I hope.

PS for those that couldn't or were (quite rightly) put off by the weather, we hope to catch up with you at a future occasion soon.

Dan · 16-03-2008, 08:02 PM

Gutted that I could get down to meet up, couldnt find anyone who wanted to come out!!!!! Saw a yellow and blue honda leaving QAB around 1.30ish as I ventured into the pub at MB! Water looked good for it today with no rain

next time for sure of you meet up again!

Temporarily Insane · 16-03-2008, 08:11 PM

Looks like you guys had a good time. Im glad that the weather was with you.

Unfortunately not sunny or warm enough for me but would love to meet everybody in the warmer months.

The way I love it
