Guildford Model Yacht Club extends a very warm welcome to you for the first 2019 Footy open event.
Come and enjoy racing your Footy at Abbey Meads Lake, Chertsey and help us to create some fun in a friendly, but competitive atmosphere.
The GMYC race team will be John Townsend and Peter Dunne. Racing will be conducted using RRS 2017-2020 modified by the 2017 MYA Standard Sailing Instructions. The current 2009 Footy Class Rules will apply. We would ask you to limit the size of your biggest rigs to comply with the ‘Experimental Footy rig Template‘. The relevant notices are as follows:
REGISTRATION and measurement check 08.40 to 09.30 hours.
BRIEFING - this will start at approximately 09.40 hours.
RACING TIMES - the first race will start soon after the briefing at approximately 10.00 hours - no race will start after 15.00 hours and any race in progress at 15.30 hours will be abandoned.
Please make sure that your correct sail numbers are clearly displayed on your mainsails: just the last two digits of your boat’s registration number or your personal number. When you bring your boat for registration, please make sure that it will fit in the ‘Footy measurement box’, as required by class rules.
As well as Fred’ Big Toephy and prizes for the winners and junior winners, there will be the first of the ‘novICE’ trophies for novice competitors that have not finished in the top 3 in the Footy open events in the last 4 years.
The entry fee is £5.00 to be paid on the day. Entries should preferably be on the online form, which links to this NoR before midnight on Thursday 31st January 2019. Any queries should go to Roger Stollery preferably by phone on 01483 421 801 or e-mailed to stollery17@sky.com. The information required is your name, MYA number, club, sail number, emergency contact telephone number & radio frequencies if not 2.4ghz. Please pass this notice onto those you know who might like to participate. If you have no Footy, we have some that may be borrowed; please ring Roger ASAP to avoid disappointment.
Please be aware that if we need to sail in northerly/southerly winds from the west bank we can at the moment no longer get our cars along this track and so it will be necessary to park off the road near the entrance to the track and walk your gear along.

ABBEY MEADS LAKE is easy to find, so long as you follow these instructions and not any others. Follow the local brown signs to THORPE PARK and go to the roundabout at their entrance. From here travel south on the A320 towards Chertsey and Abbey Meads Lake is behind the hedge on your left. After a few hundred yards turn left off the road when you see a sign, RADIO SAILING, together with signs to the 3 Valleys Water’s Chertsey Treatment Works. If the gate is locked, unlock the black number padlock with 1617 and press the button at the bottom or ring the mobile number on the ‘GMYC welcome notice’ on the gate if you need assistance, but please be patient as Roger may be out on the water. Please replace the padlock as you found it.
