Posts: 183 | What venues do we want for 2006?
I would suggest 4 or 5 events + the 4 nations making 6 with 3 or 4 to count.
Suggestions please

I'm trying to get the dates for the Grafham Cat open 2006 PDQ, but it will probably be the 2nd/3rd weekend in Oct. so 14th or 21st Oct.
I'll let you know as soon as I know.

I'll try to find out the dates of the Thorpe Bay Cat Open in 2006.
I think the 4 Nations Event is a brilliant idea but we don't have to stop at 4 or even 6 nations. We can throw it wide open and just call it the F16 Nations Cup can't we?

As for venues - why not something at Datchet? It's an easy way to get a good attendance. Paul | | | Re: UK travellers trophy events 2006

Posts: 1,382 Essex, UK | So, it looks like ECPR would be a good one to include, Datchet can be taken as read, Grafham is another obvious one as is Mumbles. Isn't there a reasonable Cat event held at Bala?

Guys, If you schedule your trip to Datchet the week after, I'm sure I could pursuade the Admin's at Grafham to allow you to leave you boats at Grafham for the interveening week for anyone who would be coming from the North / wanted to leave them there. (but don't bank on it till I've asked)

Posts: 145 Cheshire, UK | There's a very good event at Bala each year. It is usually held at May Bank holiday weekend (so is likely to be 29 April - 1 May 2006). They hosted the Dart 18s GP this year, as well as the usual Fast Cats, and treated their guests very well. I intend to be there in 2006 (on my Spitfire). I suggest you make contact via their website: http://www.balacatamaranclub.org.uk/Before anyone thinks I am biased, I am a member of Dee SC ( http://www.dee-sc.co.uk/ ), about 50 miles from them.

What are the dates (months if not decided yet) when the open events are being held at Mumbles, also would the club be interested in hosting the Nations cup?
kind regards

so here is the provisional calendar for next year, any comments/ suggestions are welcome
Bala sc open meeting May Nations cup Mumbles or Saundersfoot Pembrokeshire June East coast piers race June Eastbourne July Datchet can we do the same as last year in September with the FX1s? Grafham October + an event at Sheppey if they'll have us, Alan? any idea on dates, probably best to avoid August if possible
I am suggesting results from 4 races to count with the nations cup either compulsory or with double points.
regards
John

Posts: 1,382 Essex, UK | Provided that the Nationals/Nations Cup is a 2/3 day event then I think making it compulsory to qualify for the Traveller's Trophy is the way to go. That way there is a really strong incentive to get as many F16s together as possible for the major event of the year for the class. Are we opening this series up to the grandfathered boats? (I'm thinking Spitfires) If we are, then shouldn't we be talking to their reps? I think your proposal is excellent John, the meetings are nicely spread geographically and chronolgically

Posts: 1,382 Essex, UK | So, to be a little more precise, I make that: Bala S C ----- 29th April - 1st May Mumbles or Saundersfoot ----- June (early June if we want to be involved in the Gower Race) Marconi ECPR ------- mid July Eastbourne S C ------ 29/30 July Datchet S C ------- September? Grafham S C ------- 21/22 October That leaves the poss of a Sheppey meet in Sept/Oct? Has anyone got more precise dates? While I think that finishing the series with Grafham is a good idea, there's always Weston in November for the diehards.........
