Another successful Weekend, Thank You Everyone for Participating.
Once again another top weekend at Powels Pool:
Saturday hosted the open day with plenty of members participating and playing host to potential new members, we had several families down having a go for the first time, a big thanks to everyone who helped out.
Topper Training Sunday morning saw eleven Toppers on the water all making a huge amount of progress as the training continues to bring forward the club's future winners. Once again thanks to Steve, Tony, Dave Hall, and most importantly the ladies for helping out in the kitchen and providing lunch and for the parents for supporting the fleet once again.

Sunday Racing: What a riot, very little wind and probably the worst start you could ever imagine on the second race, with most of the fleet being tangled up together on the start line leading to lots of confusion, raised voices and "Yanking" which eventually diluted itself by the first mark (its only a race.)
A few more exchanged words on the second mark (its still only a race) and the pack started to split up (sorry Mike didn't mean to bump you.)
Then followed a very tactical race at the back of the fleet (as normal) between myself & Chris Davies, and Robb Webb & Dennis Swaine in the other Ent. Asbolute top laugh and learnt a lot from Chris thanks.
To top it all an even bigger laugh in the bar afterwards, what can I say the end to a perfect weekend.
Many Thanks To All.

Yes, sorry about the start but it is all in the interests of learning.
So, don't start a race with a heavy starboard bias!
(The wind shifted, at least that is my story)
