Fun, Frolics & Fraternity @ the Folly...

[themount2]

.. on the weekend of Nov 8th & 9th.
Following on from the Cherbourg success and Ian's earlier post it is now time to get your name down. Suggestions for plans are:~

Saturday lunchtime a quick meet up for a todie in Cowes followed by impromptu race around a few marks in the Solent for a couple of hours, say 15.00 to 17.00.

Saturday evening at the Folly to include
1.A few fireworks (every person at least one rocket please) to kick it off (subject to Folly approval and a bit of safe space being allocated).
2.Dinner
3. A short, sharp sailing quiz (20 questions 10 seconds per question) each boat fields a team.
4. A story telling session from one crew member per boat. Has to be funny and told with style and panache.
Prizes could be awarded for race, quiz and funniest story. Wacky suggestions for these please or offers of donations from you rich ba#sta#ds!!

We hope this is going to be popular and are hoping for 40 at the Folly. Suggest you get your name and boat name down quick as it is first come first served with a reserve list!! PM's please to me or simply >bturton@apaseal.co.uk< save you keep logging on.

Hope this is popular because:

The Folly Inn is now booked for up to 50 people. The menu is open so no one has to decide what to eat 'till we get there and the Folly Pontoon is booked for 9 boats -- (Asterie will be at the ramp nearest the pub) any overspill will have to catch the water taxi or dingy and oars from the pontoons oposite.

Domestics done -

Just moving it back to the top of the list so it doesn't get lost & forgotten!!!

Fireworks at the Folly a definite NO-NO. Alternative suggestions please?

If this gets buried at the bottom of the list again it stays there!!

This is definitely the last time we are dragging this up again as we need to confirm numbers with the Folly.
If we announced it as an "AA" meeting I wonder how much interest we would get then. We certainly don't intend it to be a successful one of those!!

Brian, a good idea and something the forum posters should do from time to time. Unfortunately I shall be on a plane back from Gran Canaria on the 8th (unless we're still in the Atlantic trying to find the Canaries! - no Jimi, not parrots!)
