I'm in charge of the recipe this week and the only guidelines I was give were (light , hoppy & dry) So I need some suggestions on styles that will somewhat fit and or recipes to if your willing to share but either will suffice .
 
An English Pale Ale would probably fit the bill. There's a good, easy extract recipe here. You may need to increase the amount of hops in the original recipe or do some dry hopping, but it would seem to fit your criteria.
 
Czech Pilsner? not sure of the dryness levels appropiate for the style but I know it's light and hoppy
 
Options off the top of my head:

An English Summer Pale Ale - you could almost go SMaSH with this - MO for the malt and a lot of Challenger, Fuggles or Goldings. If you can find a clone recipe for Hopback's Summer Lightning, this could be interesting, particularly if you up the hops a bit.
Almost any light APA recipe - BierMuncher's Nierra Sevada could be a good starting point (see recipes section).
A hoppy Saison, similar to PrettyThing's Jack d'Or - very dry, hoppier than usual. Temperatures are hopefully good for fermenting this (I've got a saison fermenting at 75F in my basement from last weekend), and with 3711 it'll end up as dry as hell ;)

I brewed this one as my first solo brew. It was done for SWMBO because I didn't expect her to like the Hefeweizen I cut my brewing teeth on. Surprise surprise, she ended up loving the Hefe, and I found myself in love with this brew.

It's been great for the Florida summer. Very light, and the triple hop really gives it an excellent aroma and well balanced bitterness. The Amylase Enzyme does a great job finishing up the starch conversion for fermentation, so there is virtually no sweetness left in this beer. This one is great when drunk out of a lidded stein that retains the hop aroma. Definitely a lawn mower beer. Very chuggable if it wouldn't be such a waste to quickly bypass the surprising flavor in this brew.
 
I've played with Ed's Haus Pale Ale, which is a truly excellent and quaffable beer.

I'm a big fan of this one: Ed's Haus Pale Ale, Citra Hop variation. You could easily add more hops if you wanted, but I think the balance is pretty good there. I've also done it with Cascade hops, and I might like it better. The beer is so good that I'll probably continue the trend with some other hops... Centennial or Simcoe are probably next on my list.
