Final preparations are being made for the 2009 Cat Caper. The NOR is posted on the club website (www.birminghamsailingclub.org). We are attempting to bring this event back the stature of the late 1980's and early 1990's. We are keeping all the great racing Saturday and Sunday, but adding a ton of free food and an optional day of racing/sailing/cruising – participate as much as you like.

We are working very hard to ensure a good turnout and even expect a full fleet of A Class boats this year – in addition to F16, Open Spin and Open Non-spin. If this event is not on your list – you need to double check your calendar!!!

Some highlights of the weekend are:
1. Optional fun race(s) Friday afternoon (maybe a distance race up the lake)
2. Friday night Dinner and Welcome Party
3. Saturday Lunch by a legendary local BBQ establishment
4. Saturday dinner from City Hall Diner (everything is GOOD)
5. Saturday night music with a costume contest and kid's games/prizes – BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY; trick or treat at the regatta site
6. Sunday breakfast with lots of coffee
7. Sunday lunch from Subway to make the drive home a little easier

The Club is fully behind this event and wants to see it be a huge success. Come out and join the fun!!!
