Dear [webmaster]

Hope you can add this belated thank you on to the Website:

Streaker Nationals – 12th and 13th June 2010

We should have done this before now, but on behalf of all the Streaker Sailors from Stewartby, thank you to Ruth and team for all of the organisation before and during the event. Thank you to Sarah, Rosie and all the team in the Galley for the wonderful food and thank you to the ‘Trolley Dollies’ for the organisation of the trolleys before and after the races.

Comments were made again this Saturday, when we met up with some of the Streaker Sailors, about what a great time they had and about how well it had been run. One new comment “how wonderful it was just to step in to the boat ‘ like royalty’ with nothing else to worry about other than the sailing”.

So thank you to everyone.

Prize Giving Mentions

The cumination of the event was the prizegiving where Alan Gillard from the class association thanked the club for the efforts and special thanks were given to:

Ruth Ivory and her team for the efforts in organising the event ashore. Special mention should go to Steve Ivory who handled all the registrations in advance of the event and Pat Strange for manning the reception desk on the day.

Sarah Norman for the food. This was much praised by everyone over the weekend. Mark Norman, Rosie Norman and Cherry all deserve a mention too.

Nigel Denchfield and his team for the on-the-water organisation. Nigel thanked everyone who helped including Mark Norman (Gunner), Simon Miles (windlogger) and Fiona Denchfield (assistant Race Officer). Mark Layers, Steve Ivory, Emma Southwell, Nick Jones and Thurstan Ollerearnshaw. And the support boat drivers and crew.

A special mention was given to Karl Pountney spent most of the weekend bent over his laptop working to bring the race results to competitors and their guests in almost record time. Karl would like to thank Rosie Norman for her help in entering and checking the data.

Photography was done by Robert Finch and Karl Pountney. Between them 2000 images were taken, processed and shown on the big-screen in the bar area You will have seen one image on the home-page from time to time.
