BASC - MOTH OPEN - Sunday May 13th

[Meat Pie ...]

First of the 2012 Season River Opens will be at BASC [SALTFORD Nr BATH ] on Sunday May 13th.
Racing for the stunning "Padfield Trophy" on a really nice stretch of the River Avon with great bankside viewing.
Bristol Avon Sailing Club is one of the most friendly Clubs you could wish to find who always welcome us and look after us well.

The location is the furthest West we visit but do make the effort and join in the fun and sharpen up your close quarters racing in preparation for the other River venues up-coming.

For longer distance travellers especially there is a CVRDA Event at Shearwater S.C. in South Wiltshire the day before.
This event is on a lake in the Longleat Estate ...very pretty spotand offering some challenging sailing.
Why not do both and stay over !
Come to Wiltshire...the birthplace of Champions !

Checking with B.A.S.C. on the current and anticipated River conditions at Saltford....
Stay tuned for more info...

We have a few commits so far but it would be great to see more potential support for this Event. A good chance for the River specialists to rack up some points and the pond sailors to sharpen up a little. If the W.O.S.C. event was anything to go by both Boat handling needs improvement and perhaps a swot up on the Rules may be good too !

If you are a Somerville Contender then you will need to count points at River venues to be in the running so where better than B.A.S.C....arguably the most Open of the river venues..low banks,no shallows,good Beer and a friendly welcome.
BASC may be the most Westerly venue on the Circuit but it will be worth the trip...


Pre-race Banter will start at 9.30 and probably go on all day... as usual....

Regrettably due to the River Avom flowing fast and with waterborne debris I have decided to cancel the OPEN Meeting scheduled for Sunday 13th May.
Will try to re-arrange the event if possible.
I have contacted everyone I knew who would be attending and hope that anyone else who was thinking of going will check here before travelling.
