Fina Revett Series at Leigh & Lowton this weekend
By Paul Allen on 9 Dec 201111 December 2011
Leigh and Lowton Sailing Club's Open Revett Winter Series concludes this coming weekend on Sunday the 11th December 2011. So far in the series 99 boats have competed but we want to break that magic 110 boat challenge.
The forecast looks good and to say a big thank to all our visitors this weekend's sailing is free to one and all. Also for anyone visiting this Sunday, as well as free sailing on the day, there's a 50% reduction for visitors who then attend the Open Pursuit Race on New Year's Day.
After sailing on Sunday there is the prize giving and a "results raffle" for a 1st Mark gift voucher. But please remember for the raffle you have got to be "in it to win it" and there will be redraws until one lucky person at the prize giving wins the gift voucher.
The galley will as ever be serving hot meals throughout the day and visitors and spectators are invited to watch the fun from the new lounge extension.
Full results are available on the club website.

Tipsy Icicle Series at Leigh & Lowton Sailing Club - Day 8
The weather prediction for Sunday 26th February had been poor all week and it was probably this, compounded by the fact that Liverpool were playing in the Carling Cup Final, that meant that the turnout was down over previous weeks.
