Calling all sailing enthusiasts !

Join us at Heathrow’s Terminal 4 tomorrow, Wednesday morning to mark the historic return of Team GB’s world beating sailing team. Their British Airways flight touches down at 05.20am and it would be great to have as many friends of sailing on hand to welcome them home.

It has been nearly one hundred years since we enjoyed such success, so set your alarms and make it a morning to remember and join us for sailing’s big gold breakfast homecoming. Don’t miss this chance to say you were there.
