Now that the light evenings are here so are the SN
Wednesday Summer Evening Meetings & Socials

Yes, its that time of year when the clocks go forward and the light evenings begin. It also means the start
of the SN evening events on Wednesday evenings with venues as below. These (free) events range from
low-key informal events with mini O kites and suggested courses through to the club handicap and other
events with full size kites and electronic timing. If you have not been before why not come along, its a good
way of meeting and getting to know members of the club, with a group of us usually finishing the evening
with food and a drink in a nearby pub. Other than the occasional evening (for example the club handicap)
there will be a course suitable for beginners. BUT EVERYONE IS ALWAYS WELCOME

Summer Come and Try It, SN Handicap & SN picnic
event
We are holding the last of our Summer Come & Try It events at Alice Holt on Sunday 12th July and this will be
combined this year with the SN Handicap race and followed by a barbeque at which all are welcome.

This will be held at Alice Holt Country Park which is well signed and located just off the A325, south of
Farnham at Bucks Horn Oak. (Turn off by the Halfway House PH) There will be Yellow and Orange standard
courses available for novices and newcomers from 10am through to 11.30am, with SN members on hand to help
out and show you what to do or even come round a course with you if you wish.

This will then be followed by the annual SN handicap race which is open to club members only, with starts from
around 12’ish, the aim being to have an exciting finish around 1.00pm by which time we hope someone will have
got the barbeque ready to start cooking! We have use of the classroom building as in previous years, which
provides a good base for our event with a kitchen and plenty of space to lay out our food to enjoy either inside
or out depending on the weather. Please remember that once we have filled the car park to the classroom, then
the Country Park parking fees will apply.

The handicap race is being planned by last year’s winner, Alan Wallis, and will be around 3.8k in length of Light
Greenish standard and is open to all club members. In order that your handicap may be calculated and a start
time allocated, can all who wish to take part email Sarah Francis on sarah@sillimanite.co.uk as soon as possible.

For all who would like to join us for the barbeque, please bring your own food to cook, and committee members
and other volunteers will bring a selection of salads and soft drinks to be shared by all. If you would like to
prepare and bring a contribution to share please let Phil Beale know on philbeale@invershin.fsworld.co.uk
