News for 2010 Rutland Challenge for the John Merricks Tiger Trophy,Rutland Sailing Club

The TIGER DINNER is held to raise money for the John Merricks Sailing Trust and to reflect one of John's principle attributes, the ability to enjoy himself in the company of fellow sailors. (His other was the ability to sail fast!)
Those wishing to attend are invited to apply for groups of ten with their online entry. £315 per table or £35 each (so organise a group of 10 and pay for 9.) . (The Dinner is always over subscribed with a maximum of 150 seats available.) All net proceeds to the John Merricks Sailing Trust.
This year, Ian Walker, John's sailing partner in the 470 winning silver at the Atlanta Olympics and currently tactician with Shirley Robertson with the Extreme 40's Asia Sreries will be flying in from Oman to speak about John. He will also mention the continuing development of the trust he helped to establish after John's tragic death.
