CVRDA

Can any one please clarify, my Greek and Latin is not that good. Is it Pegasus's or Pegasi? As the original winged horse was singular, not quite sure on the correct phrasing....

PS. only asking so that I may look inteligent, when questioned by committee, for the Oulton Week publicity...

For a really unusual handicap bandit, how about an Adventurer (Or even an Adventuress!). Not sure what the handicap is, but I always seemed to do well as a youth in one!!

To answer David H's question regarding starts at Oulton Week. I do feel that you may have been communicating with our clubs Honourable Secretary. He did put the suggestion forward that to not split the fleet would have the possiblity of an old Oppie starting with an I14. There could be an issue with...

The club have allowed kissing of AG at the prize giving. Just as long, as it is remembered that kids will be there....

No, I did clear the 9:00 PM watershed posted at half past midnight!!!

And the Cubitt trophy is still raced for during Oulton Week!!

Oh how could I forget, the biggest handicap bandit of all time on the Broad, no, I can't bring my self to say it..... Ohhhhhh (gritted teeth)....... Go on Jon you know you can.... I just can't say that word.... Be brave, Jon...... . . . . . . . . . Nearly brave enough now!! . . . . . . . . Getting b...

On Oulton Broad the Oulton Raters take a lot of beating, as do the Norfolk Dinghies. When Beccles had a Silver Streak fleet, they were beatable, but that may have been more down to the sailors than the boats!! Enterprises do go very well on the Broad, and it is a great shame that we don't have an En...

I see from the published lists that the CVRDA do not have a stand at Sailboat. In future years, would this not be a good way of preaching the gospel of the CVRDA. Many people have not heard of the CVRDA (Indeed, the explaining I had to do at Oulton Broad, shows how unknown it is), maybe this would b...

Doubtless travelling to such a remote outpost will be taken into account, as it has been in other years. Now which are you classing as the remote outpost?? Having been born and lived up till 16 in the North West and after that (For a lot longer!) in the East, not sure where my loyalties lie!! I can...

As an uneducated prole, should you not have capitalised "Freudian"?

Nessa now at forty to one... Any other offers????? (Is ther a tongue in cheek smilie - can't find it!!)

Yeah, OK I have just shown my ignorance. But, I would claim in my defence that I investigated what it meant!!!

Back to the original thread, I donn't feel that I can add much more, Blood, Sweat, Tears, Nitomors, Heatgun, Skarsten scraper, etc...

Good luck...

Shall we start a book on it 20:1 Nessa gets it is my starting bid. 100-1 Rupert. Any other bids??

Very good AG, but my education was behind yours.. (I had to google Damascene, to find out the meaning) - Some of us were not trained in the classics!!!...
