Leigh & Lowton Sailing Club Winter Series starts next Sunday

by Richard Catchpole 25 Oct 2015 14:28 GMT 1 November 2015

Entries for the UK's biggest club winter programme are open!

The Guy Fawkes Pursuit, Revett Series (Pre-Xmas), New Year's Day Pursuit and the famous Tipsy Icicle Series (post-Christmas) constitute some of the best winter racing you can find in the UK. Hosted by Leigh & Lowton SC, you can enter for all 4 events and qualify to be in the running for the title of Winter Champion 2015/16, or you can pick one or two events to enter to keep you active in the winter.

With professional OOD team Peter & Judith Baldwin in control for the Icicle and the excellent Howard Green & team back in charge for the pursuits, you can expect great courses and our famous galley will be in operation as usual with Ann and Helen serving up well over 100 lunches per day to keep our competitors fed between races.

You can always enter on the day if you just want to turn up for the occasional racing, but our online entry is by far and away the most cost effective way to sign up and enter the whole series or a selection of events.

Sign up here now!
