the blithfield barrel starts on the 14th of november. we had a fantastic turn out from the merlin fleet last year with 20 boats entered. it would be great if we could get some more boats to the event its great fun and well worth travelling to, the food is always excellent so come along and enjoy some good racing see you all soon !!!!

Were any killer shrimps found after the open meeting?
Are the hose precautions still in place for visitors to the barrel?

Yes, boat washing is still in force unfortunately. We're no longer the only club with this problem now, Bartley and Draycote also have boat washes in place.
What we need are hoards of kids and a large supply of shrimping nets at the Grafham Grand Prix.........
