THURNE MOUTH OPEN REGATTA 2011

Yes that’s right another TMOR just about upon us, and again they can assure you that they have ordered fine weather and good wind. This together with fantastic food, a bar for the entire weekend and three, yes three, bands (thanks to kind sponsors Boats 'n' Bits, and Norwich Screen Art) they are in for a fantastic weekend. So if you have not got your boat in the water yet get a move on as you will not want to miss TMOR 2011.

Ive been going to the Regatta every year.... exciting racing.... very friendly.....lovely old classic Yachts.... and a beer tent!!

But as usual to make it all work they coordinate all the fantastic efforts of the members and friends, so again it would be most helpful if you are intending to help (and there are many regular helpers), or if you are interested in helping in any way for the first time please get in touch with them so they can try and accommodate your preferences.

They are looking for assistance as follows:-

Wednesday 25 May (1200 – 1500ish), site clearance, which will be light gardening etc to make sure the area for the marquee is clear – usually a most sociable afternoon.

Thursday 26 May (1000 – 1700ish), moving all kit from shed to site and building and stocking the bar, there is a bit of humping involved here, so if you are coming and can bring a wheel barrow that would be helpful to move beer barrels.

Friday 27 May (1000 – 1700ish), final set-up involving putting up starting line flagpole, tent, river signs etc and everything else we had forgotten to do the preceding days – good news is that the bar opens in the evening!

Saturday 28 through to Monday 30 they will need help with;

• Working behind the bar (and you do not have to be able to count, we have calculators and easy lists of multiple costs).
• Selling teas and coffees.

• Safety Boat crews, (you will need a life jacket/buoyancy aid).
• Assistance on the line (could be putting up and down flags – which is easy as we have a list to follow), timekeeping, or just observing (and it is a good view of the racing),
• Assistance on Race control (taking entries and the fees).
• Many other numerous jobs to make it all work.

 They are also seeking;

• Cakes to sell over the weekend, so if your are a ‘cakebaker’ and fancy donating a cake to TMOR they will be pleased to accept your donation.

If you think that you can help in any way please do drop them an e-mail
