Contact Woofie on this one - he persuaded me to include this event in the
Calendar, on the assurance he would organise it. I understand from Fitz the
Club are not going to do anything because they would be unable to provide
safety cover (and they had a fatality last year in another class so are very
sensitive on this) - and it is not an ISC event anyway. Of course, if any
boats wish to get together and sail somewhere and back relying on their
ability to look after themselves/each other, that is entirely up to them -
but it's going to be, if anything, a freelance event like that rather than
an ISC or 14 Association thing...

Future policy for the Calendar will be that only events we are confident are
going to happen will go in!
