Property\, equipment\, boats and facilities have suffered extensive damage submerged by the sea water lake.  Although the clean-up has started\, the club will not be in a position to host the event  this year. Our thoughts are very much with Melvyn Powell and MRSC volunteer members\, some of whom have also suffered flood damage to their homes\, as they set about the task. \nMembers with bookings will be issued a refund.

Come for a day or two or stay for the complete event – no problem. \nThis is part of the private Cobnor Estate and a perfect location for our caravans\, motor-homes\, and tents. There are B & Bs and hotels nearby for those of us who prefer a decent mattress. \nDaily cruises\nChoose from a shortish one to a longish one – will be organised by a new Cruise Master now that Ray Tennant has stood down – the highlight being the trip south to East Head though the ice cream cruise to Dell Quay SC at the northern end of Chichester Harbour is a favourite. The culinary highlight is the Friday night Curry’n’KormaFest prepared by a local restaurant and served up in Cobnor Field as the sun begins to set. If there is time\, there is the WandererFest Coarse Boules tournament in Cobnor Field which becomes increasingly tense as we approach the Grand Final. I hope Mike Powell will bring his telescope again; seeing Saturn’s rings is quite an experience. \n\n\n\n\nRobin Gabbitas organises two splendid barrels of real beer (£2.50 a pint last time) and it would be great if Barry Lowe can bring his Mongolian Tent alongside our usual main marquee. The association spends a small fortune in hiring very smart Ladies and Gents flush loos which have been utterly reliable. \nMore details from Robin Gabbitas robingabbitas@yahoo.co.uk \nTickets available soon….

Marlow SC is probably the most relaxed in the country on the grassy banks of the Thames\, just upstream from Bisham Abbey.

RISK STATEMENT\nRule 4 of the Racing Rules of Sailing states: “The responsibility for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone.” Sailing is by its nature an unpredictable sport and therefore involves an element of risk. By taking part in any of the events covered by this notice of\nrace\, each competitor agrees and acknowledges that:\n\na) They are aware of the inherent element of risk involved in the sport and accept responsibility for the exposure of themselves\, their crew and their boat to such inherent risk whilst taking part in the event;\nb) They are responsible for the safety of themselves\, their crew\, their boat and their other property whether afloat or ashore; \nc) They accept responsibility for any injury\, damage or loss to the extent caused by their own actions or omissions; \nd) Their boat is in good order\, equipped to sail in the event and they are fit to participate; \ne) The provision of a race management team\, patrol boats\, umpires and other officials and volunteers by the organiser does not relieve them of their own responsibilities; \nf) The provision of patrol boat cover is limited to such assistance\, particularly in extreme weather conditions\, as can be practically provided in the circumstances.\n8. INSURANCE\nEach participating boat shall be insured with valid third-party liability insurance with a minimum cover of at least £ 2\,000\,000 or the equivalent.\n9.
