Gordon Brown MP joins our training.

Gordon Brown MP with local resident Colin McPhail at Dalgety Bay

 Well I guess you know you are doing something right when your local MP joins in to your weekend training session and especially so when your local MP is Gordon Brown, former Prime Minister of Britain and Northern Ireland.

Sadly as it turns out Gordon had arrived for a television interview to highlight the issues with Radium contamination on the Dalgety Bay foreshore and to support calls for the MOD to get engaged in measures to try and stop further particles from being released onto the beach and causing a risk to the public.  So he was not there to support our campaign of training towards the Youth Nationals 2012 and the Women's singlehanded berth at the Olympics in 2016.

Sam and Joanne were in mid briefing watching videos of upwind laser techniques when Gordon walked into the room and said hello.  TV cameras were following and recorded the girls as they prepared to launch for their training session.

All in days work for our young Olympic aspirants.
