We're joining the annual Bart's Bash sailing event once again this year;
Plan for the day
10:30 - Help set up for the day
11:30 Norman's Stephens trophy
For members who are not familiar with this trophy, it's a race to remember Norman Stephens one of our founding members who also set up our very successful Sailfree programme.
To honor his memory we have an annual race where sailors of all ages and abilities are invited to race one of the club's Sailfree dinghies.
12:30 - 13:30 Lunch (If people are interested we can organise an on
water game)
14:00 Bart's Bash Race
Like OSC the Andrew Simpson's ethos is sailing for ALL. Their charitable activities range from community sailing programmes to participation events and training. To help raise funds they invite sailing clubs to participate in a race on the same week-end. This is the 10th year they have held this event. If you would like more information you can google Bart's Bash 2023 for their website.
We do not charge an entrance fee for either race, however as we are aiming to raise money for the Andrew Simpson's foundation we suggest a minimum donation of £5 per person with all funds going to the charity.
As usual events like this run more smoothly with assistance from members. If you would like to assist you can enter your name on the volunteer sheet under the membership tab on the club website.
