Projects being developed and tested during these meetings include Torix Bennett's speed sailing tri-scaph, Slade Penoyre's Ayrslide sitting-out device and Ayrsright righting system, Tony Kitson's sailing canoe, Graeme Ward's dinghy, Roger Glencross' paraglider/hapa. Any other projects would be welcome, model or full size, concept or finished boat, and of course if members without their own projects want to come along to talk, advise or (better still) actually help, we shall be delighted to see them.</P> <P>For directions to Bray Lake and more information about these AYRS meetings please ring Slade Penoyre on +44 (0) 1276 472 208, daytime or evenings before 9 pm. <H1>Speedsailing Equipment Trial, Weirwood Reservoir, UK</H1> <P><B><I>Robert Downhill, 40 Collingwood Close, Eastbourne, E Sussex BN23 6HW, UK. Tel: +44 (1323) 644 879</I></B></P> <P><A NAME="_Toc387034766"></A>The purpose of the meet is to get out the kit we are going to use for Weymouth Speed Week 97 and use it. There are two objectives in this:</P> <P>1. Make sure it works</P> <P>2. Get more people aware of how it works</P> <P>The time table looks like: Friday 23rd May 11.00 a.m. take equipment to Weirwood assemble and test. Survey lake for "best place" for a course, check we have support boats available with crews plus a buoy or two. Saturday 24th May 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.: attempt to lay course and time a few craft etc. At 4.00 p.m. have a debriefing in the clubhouse. I have to be on the road home by 5.00 p.m. at the latest.</P> <P>If anyone wants to come and play they will be more than welcome. I would point out that boats will need third party insurance for £500,000.</P> <P>The only problem I can see is that to measure the course we can't afford to rent the laser tape or radios so we will have to make do with what I have. <H1>AYRS New England Group Meeting, 31st May 1997, Fort Adams, Newport, Rhode Island.</H1> <P><B><I>Contact Tom Blevins tel: (US) (207) 882-6396 for information</I></B></P> <P>10.00 - 16.00hrs Museum of Yachting, <H1><A NAME="_Toc387034770"></A>Conference Calendar</H1> <P>Dr Fiona Sinclair has drawn our attention to the following conferences:</P> <P>The Royal Institution of Naval Architects (Small Craft Group) has just issued a last call for papers for an International Conference on Wing-In-Ground-Effect craft and Air-Cushion-Vehicles, to be held in December 1997 in London.
