Frank Singleton has kindly agreed to give a talk to the North Sea Section on understanding about weather forecasts, their limitations and how best to use them. He will talk about some problems specific to the North Sea. Many of you will be familiar with Frank's work and will, no doubt, have read his article in the latest edition of Cruising. This is the opportunity to put your questions directly to him.
The event is organised by the North Sea Section but all CA members and their guests are welcome. The attendance fee is £10. Tea and coffee included. Early booking will be essential and to do so please contact CA House on 020 7537 2828 or email .
