IOM Ranking, Bartley Green, 3-4/3/12
Over the weekend Birkenhead skippers contended with rain showers, sleet, snow, gusting winds and a general battle of the elements in the first IOM Ranking Races of the season. Results show that a long winter series of close racing has kept our members at the top end of the fleet and we look forward to the next Ranking weekend at Castle Semple, Scotland on the 5th and 6th of May.
Saturday 3/2/12
Tomorrow is the first club Marblehead race of the year.
This weekend is the first IOM Ranking Race of the year with Birkenhead members looking to perform strongly against a world class field. Follow the weekend’s results on the Midlands District Website.
A reminder that the following Saturday 10/3/12 is our lake clean up day from 10am.
