The final Osprey event of 2023 will be held on what many call the best racing water in the Midlands. With time for tuning and practice on the Friday afternoon, supported by great food and drink, it's a great way to close the Osprey year.

Further details and an opportunity to enter online before arrival is on www.blithfield.org.uk

And although it is the Osprey "Final Fling" entrants will be very welcome to join Blithfield after the event for both our Winter membership or popular Blithfield Barrel Winter Open handicap race series.
