I can't ever remember a week at Notts County when we sailed 5.4 (or in Richard's case 4.7) sq m sails 4 times within 7 days, and there was only one light wind day in the week. Most of us oldies were completly worn out by Sunday evening.

Fat Saturday was a huge success thanks to help from many people. Julie & Jim drove over to Grantham to fetch Starboard kit, Russ spent some time on the phone organising Nobles (Tabou) and JP / Pryde kit, and of course thanks to John from Nobles, Gordon from Ultrasport, Mark from Starboard (It was him doing those neat loops on Sunday). It seemed most of the windsurfing members came down and there were over 60 including children for one of Paulene's excellant roasts on Saturday night.

Sunday saw lots more wind, and the dinghy racing saw a large number cleaning theier boats in the lake, but everyone seemed to enjoy the sunshine & showers, whilst the spectators who seemed to grow in numbers during the day used the new conservatory.

I have put the better pictures on a few pages (linked below) and given Richard his own page(link) - it's worth looking at some of the sequences. (generally alphabetic order) - scrol down Fat Sat / Sun intro - Fat Sat / Sun more photos
