INTRODUCTION: TSC have negotiated consent from Northumberland CC to conduct regular winter racing on Ladyburn Lake at Druridge Bay Country Park. We intend to sail when weather conditions are suitable – If the wind is forecast to be a flat calm or too strong for racing; or wind chill temperature too severe; it is likely that racing will be called off in advance. A decision will be made at 14.00 each Friday and circulated to all series entrants before 17.00 on that day. The Series will proceed providing TSC has received at least 10 fully paid entries prior to  5.00pm on Friday 16th October 2019

Changing rooms and hot showers are available in ‘Coquet Shorebase Trust’ [CST] premises. A TSC Club ‘tin’ safety / c’tee boat will be stored in the ‘CST’ garage. To save entrants the burden of towing boats weekly, we have, this year agreed a  fee of £40.00  for storage of competitors’ boats in the CST compound for the entire series.
