Evening Racing   (last updated on 31 January 2008)

Tuesday Evenings – beginning of May to mid August

The rescue boat leaves the staithe at 6:30 for those requiring a tow and racing commences at 7:00pm. Two races are held if weather conditions allow and hot drinks are available

Tuesday evening racing has been such a success that is it now the highlight of the week for the relatively small group that turn up without fail each week.
So why not come and join us for some wonderful evening racing from 6th May (the day after the first May Day Bank Holiday) through to the last session on 12th August.
These evenings are ideal for those who are building up confidence to race as the winds tend to be a little lighter than some Sundays. You don’t get tea but you do get hot chocolate!

We will be organising a rota again this year for the duties and many thanks to Liz Chettleburgh who organised it last year.

If you raced last year, Kath Mason will be in touch to ask you to do one or maybe two duties during the 15 weeks to share out the responsibilities. If you are interested in joining you may also be asked to help out but as well as being a good grounding for starting to race, it will also be a good opportunity to practise OOD's and rescue boat skills with someone to help you if you wish.

Timings

5.30 / 6.00 pm OOD and Rescue people to arrive to set course, put out buoys and put on the kettle.
OOD to bring out one pint of milk and biscuits if you wish.
Tea, coffee, soup or hot chocolate provided in tea hut.
6.15 pm Rescue crew to go in ready for tow out.
6.30 pm Tow out.
7.00 pm First race or two races back to back.

Hot drinks provided.

Please email or phone Kath Mason to make your pledge for a Tuesday evening duty.,

We hope to put the rota on the website so you can see where the gaps are! kath@kjim.co.uk Email: Phone: 01603 662804 evenings
