Many thanks again John, your help over the last couple of years has been much appreciated. It was nice meeting your shift partner at Blackpool on the NRCC stand. Will e mail you later.

 

Yours in Sport,

Brian Garnham.

 

P.S. Thanks in advance to all those who so kindly give us help whilst we are flying out of Scotland.

Enjoyed speaking with Tam at the marking. We hope for good returns and aim to build on this race. We are also considering some other Open races, but the decision is one for the future.

 

 

one from Ireland in a west wind, would be nice 380 - 410 mile to mostemoticon-0123-party.gif

They've waited for 11 days before, I believe. Apparently there are facilities there in the case of exceptional long hold-overs.
