Upcoming Races
Saturday 8th September is the IOM STREBOR Open Race with a Briefing at 9.45am for a 10.00am start, finish time to be decided on the day (approx 5.00pm).
Sunday 9th September is the Northern District RM Ranking Race which is to be held at West Kirby Marine Lake. Briefing at 9.45am for a 10.00am start, wih no race to start after 4.30pm. This event will be the final hit out for our best GBR team skippers before next month’s World Championships in France and a great opportunity to see World Class Marblehead racing locally.
Any club skipper wishing to enter in either of the above races should contact the Sailing Secretary at bgrcyachting ‘at’ hotmail.com, or use the MYA Onilne Entry Form for the RM Ranking.
Lunch on the Saturday will be available at the canteen and it is also presumed that lunch will be available on the Sunday at West Kirby Sailing Club.
As both races are being run by Birkenhead MY&PC, we are asking that any members not wishing to sail in either of the IOM or RM events above could kindly offer their assistance on either day to help run these events. Now is the time to step forward if you have not done so yet this year! Please let Brad know if you can help out.
Our Condolences
It is with sadness to hear of the passing of Elizabeth Jones. Elizabeth was a longstanding life member of Birkenhead where she supported boat builder and sailor husband Ken, along with grandsons Graham and Chris Elliott. We pass on our condolences to family and friends.
