The last weekend this month I have a few people "booked in" and of more of you chose that date, then it would be possible to look at some group meetings as well as individual trips around. It always helps to hear others thoughts and compare with your own.
However, if that date doesn't suit, just PM me anyway, and let's see what can be arranged.
There is no need for you to be a newcomer, by the way...everyone who races benefits from practice and learning more, and is welcome to come. It will only cost you your boat or plane fare.
