"r l i Windsurfing l Last summer showed quite a few members of the Regiment keen to try their hand at windsurfing and with Salzgittcr See being so close, the water proved a big attraction. Either that or the young Fraulein: sunbathing on the beach! There was enough interest to form 2 teams to take part in the BFG /' Windsurfing Championships at Diimmer . See The teams finished in 13th and 17th THE 9TH/lZTH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTAL JOURNAL positions. Even with Cpl Conroy having to disappear to have a baby, not a bad effort for the first time out — the positions not Cpl Conroy! We hoped to enter the BAOR Wind- surfing Championships but other com- mitments made it impossible During the summer several people went to Fehman Island at the northern tip of Germany to try open sea wind- surfing, with varying degrees of success. About 20 people, both soldiers and wives. finished the season with some official qualification which, will enable them to sail in England where the rules are much stricter. Maybe suitable lakes and financial agreement can be found to enable we surfers to continue with the sport, and to permit others to “have a go" in 1987. Regimental Posers team at the R.A.F.G.
