3 races on Saturday from 12:00 2 races on Sunday from 10:00 (if you are fit for it) Free camping in the field adjacent to the Club and sleeping bag space in the clubhouse. Car parking also in the field so plenty of space for rigging. Pig roast and Jazz band Saturday night - entry fee (£35.00) includes 2 tickets. Extra tickets for the supporters are £7.00 each. (£5.00 for under 10's) We had 62 boats in 2006 so, after a fantastic Lyme, we're hoping for a bumper turnout! Lots of water and it's definitely deep enough to turtle without touching the bottom (!)

When?

Don't worry Tim there is always one who should have gone to Specsavers! I think the link from the homepage and on the Fixtures page should be enough - obviously not for some!!

Please note the infamous Blithfield pipe is still safely on the bottom of the resevoir so no problems there.

Hi Tim. Is there an entry form online? Mike
Posted: 07/09/2012 13:50:39 By: Mike Anslow |
Mike registration will be open from 0900 - 1100 after which its time for me to rig my boat and listen to briefing etc I know that there will be someone on hand to register late arrivals if you arrive after 1100. Hope that helps.

Port out starboard home Posh with a capital P..o..s..h.. Posh !
Trust me a tent after a Blithfield pig roast is more akin to glamping than proper camping! The good food the "yummy" local larger... A bed is just somewhere to put your head, save the taxi fare and have more beer, then awake to the mist covered lake and the distant drone of the pike fishers outboards.... luxury !
