Picnic at Portchester Castle 1200 Saturday July 23

[Chris Partridge]

Saturday looks like being a sunny if a bit breezy day with an afternoon high tide (14.45, 4.7m) so how about a picnic in Portchester Castle?
It is a longish row under the bridges of Port Creek. We will need to get on the water as early as practical so I suggest we meet at the Mill at 12.00 so we can get the boats on the beach ready to go as soon as the tide comes in.
On these occasions everyone brings something for the picnic, so if you can say what you propose to bring we can make sure there is a variety rather than all strawberries (though some strawberries are a must, obvs.)
We will be back by about 16.30.

Hi Chris, how cool is that, Ron and Cheryl definitely up for this. We will bring sausage rolls and a box of rather nice (not too strong) fruit wine. ~ Cheers Ron and Cheryl

Hi Chris

It sounds like a great row but I notice that Gladys, Langstone Lady and Sallyport are all having Grr practices that day.  For us in Sallyport it is one of the few rows we can have as a complete team so we will try to row somewhere for 2.5 hours if that OK with you.  Sorry we won't be joining you as it does sound tempting.   I don't know what the other teams will be doing

Cheers
Richard

Why don't you come along? Portchester is a good meaty row and strawberries and cream are superfoods recognised by sports nutritionists as ideal for athletes in training.

Hi Chris

I am not sure if your email below is addressed to me, or is a generic invite via the website. 

In either case I would normally jump at the opportunity. However I am in Siena returning Monday. Let's do it again. 

Regards & thanks

Hi Chris,

We have a full crew for GRR training in Langstone Lady on Saturday.

Hoping that this does not impact upon your plans.

Best
Andy

[Chris Partridge]

All training crews are welcome to come to Porchester. Regard the picnic as a team-building exercise!

[Lesley Kent-Brown]

I'd like to come if possible please Chris.  Lesley

[Jenny]

Yes please for Jenny and Dave. We will bring, cheese and biscuits and water melon.

[Andy Mac]

Hi Chris

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful invitation to join you all on saturday.

We had a chat about this after training today and as we very rarely have the luxury of having the full crew available, we will be working our way through a lot of training excercises on saturday, but thanks again for thinking of us.

Wishing you all a super trip and picnic.

Best
Andy

I am keen to come for a picnic, or any excuse for an extended row!
Can bring savouries such as sausage rolls, but open to suggestions....

Note The Portchester S.C. is holding a "Species Cup" dinghy race between 2pm and 4pm, so extra care is needed on approach to the club/slipway - not to get in the way of ardent sailors.
Also (due to the Americas cup at Southsea) we might see a little bit of the BLADES air display team early on in our travels.
AIR DISPLAY/AEROBATICS WI 2NM RADIUS 504641N 0010530W (SOUTHSEA,

Cheryl and I will bring summer fruit wine, flap jacks and chocolate digestive crunch. Not sausage rolls as mentioned before as others seem to be doing that. See you all later.
