Once again Rhosneigr did not fail to please, with cross off winds and a running swell, it was riding heaven (for some the riding continued into the night!).

The beginners and intermediates also had fun on the lake, attempting to complete the course whilst slaloming the reeds and local fishermen!!

On the 16th and 17th February, 2002, as the permafrost was slowly melting, Birmingham held their second inter-university event, "Chase the brass monkey"!

Saturday saw little wind, but the bouncy castle and IMCO racing (on land) was enough to keep the frostbite away!! This event is all about getting the student windsurfers back together, partying, after the winter break. So land based activities are in abundance!

Sunday saw the first use of the new BIC Techno/Lodey fleet. Well done to Cardiff for winning overall, and a big thanks to Birmingham for organising the event.

• Location - Chase Water Reservoir 30 minutes from Birmingham
• Weather - Light winds, but plenty of bouncy castle action to keep everyone amused
• Party - Funky, Fluffy, Fury, Fantastic!
• Attendance - 60+
