Probably because of the cold weather and the Midland District Winter Series event at Leicester there were only 5 entries for this event. They were met by a very cold morning and very little wind. However the sky was blue and the sun was shining and a very pleasant mornings sailing was had by all. In view of the spirit of the event  hints, tips and opinions were shared frequently. Sailing started on a short course close to the east bank but after 3 races the wind increased from next to nothing to gentle and the course was was extended down the bank. Good sailing was had for the rest of the morning despite the running start dictated by the positions of the marks. This did not cause any great problem due to the relatively small entry.
