GSC Forum

It was said it wasn't as secure as we thought. We did discuss a code of conduct to prevent what has happened happening again if it ever gets reinstated.

congratulations John Wood on doing wonderful job, I expect Lorna will explain what I mean

Hi Brian, yes I think it was Ian. I sometimes think Suzi is a bit pretentious. If you look at her from front or back she does look like a 30 footer.

I recommended John for this year's Hawtin Trophy to two Committee Members. John has and is providing what has become a very important service to members. The Hawtin Trophy is awarded for services to the club. Most of you have no idea who I am. I've been a member for over 32 years http://www.naimad.c...

Hi Steve, everyone that was up yesterday was asked to watch the forum and Facebook so it should be early enough.

Hi David I use XCWeather. It gives up-to-date recorded conditions at Blackpool Airport and Walney and lots of other places. I just use the Club post code for the forecast: http://www.xcweather.co.uk/forecast/LA2%200DB I've found this more realistic as we are slightly inland but you can intrapolate b...

I've consulted the proposed Rear Commodore Racing and we've aggreed to CANCEL today's racing because of the weather

Thanks David

Wind still F4 gusting F6 so I probably won't be going up to sail in Frostbite 4

Is it true the lock on the 'store room' has been changed and John is no longer allowed a key? John was certainly at the Club early yesterday.

Watch this space, preferrably Facebook for decisions on tomorrows racing

Perhaps it only needs 2 metres towards the river, just enough to get a boat launching trolley past the water outlet

Another thought: Perhaps the mast with a sail, and probably boom, belong to an old wooden boat which was broken up some time ago. It belonged to a man who had a caravan on the Marina caravan park. I think he lotst his job or became ill or some form of a crisis. He helped a lot when we concreted the ...

Another thought. When I worked on my mast it was good because of the dry but all the stored items made it hard working on it, at time it was hazardous. When I sanded the mast down everything was covered in dust. It's not really suitable to use as a workshop. One could say it had become a dumping gro...

If I could have one wish from the Management Committee it would be to extend the top portion of the apron seawards. I keep meaning to make a proposal but don't seem to get round to it. It just needs to take the apron around 2 metres beyond the water drain outlet and extend only 5 metres towards the ...

If we go the container way it needs to be least 40'. There was a plan to put a lean-to next to the new garage and keep the old garage for storing outboards, and the patrol boat . As a workshop the lean-to wouldn't be very friendly in our weather conditions. When it's wet you can move the patrol boat...

I'm in agreement with the disposal of the white container because it is falling apart and not secure. Looking back now I think it was probably only given to us because it will be very expensive to 'recycle'.

Perhaps someone may have a suggestion? A steel container will probably be too expensive.

Just for the record I have nothing in the container at the moment but I have found it very useful in the past. painting a mast and storing racing mark buoys, chain etc. We need a secure storage/working place for members general use. There are lots of items hanging around the gents changing room that...

Sunday's Racing: http://www.naimad.co.uk/jmswarbrick/michael/glassonsc/Dinghies/2013/frost02.html http://www.naimad.co.uk/jmswarbrick/michael/glassonsc/Dinghies/2013/images/20131006/000s.jpg http://www.naimad.co.uk/jmswarbrick/michael/glassonsc/Dinghies/2013/images/20131006/037s.jpg http://www.naima...

The average age of yesterday's racers was/is 75. Where have all the young people gone?

Michael, in his Mirror, won both races over Ivan, in his Laser. If Michael had been sailing a Laser he would not have been able to keep it upright so Ivan is the real winner.
