The club again took part in the annual Bart’s Bash race, an event set up in memory of Andrew Simpson to raise money to enable disabled and disadvantaged children to go sailing.<\/span><\/div>\n
It was a pity that the wind did not turn up or at least did so only fleetingly! In spite of this it was a very enjoyable morning with everyone entering into the spirit of the event. We had 10 juniors and 18 adults sailing with the juniors going off first and finishing just after the adults had started their race.<\/span><\/div>\n
With the light wind both races were one lap affairs using the same course. In the junior race Louis, Rhys, William H. William P, Joe and Thomas were in Toppers and Jemima, Bea, Isaac and Lucy were in Oppies. They all went off chatting away and continued to chat though most of the race and appeared to be enjoying themselves despite the lack of wind.<\/span><\/div>\n
The final positions were \u2013 <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Louis; 2nd<\/sup> Rhys; 3rd<\/sup> Wiiliam H; 4th<\/sup> Jemima; 5th<\/sup> Bea; 6th<\/sup> Joe<\/span><\/div>\n
Well done to all the juniors and especially Isaac, who was competing in his first race<\/span> <\/span>ever<\/span> !<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
At the end of the racing Karen presented all the juniors with an armband or a sticker.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
In the adult race Newton (Solo) just sailed away at the front of the fleet chased by Adrian (Rooster) and Peter R (Enterprise) with everyone else a long way behind. There was no change in position for the first three but there was a lot of place swapping in the fleet behind them.<\/span><\/div>\n
Final positions were- <\/span><\/div>\n
1st<\/sup> Newton; 2nd<\/sup> Adrian; 3rd<\/sup> Peter R; 4th<\/sup> James P; 5th<\/sup> Dean & Nick; 6th<\/sup> Karen<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks to Ellen for organising the racing and collating the results and to Karen for looking after and encouraging the juniors. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Thanks also to Sally & Kate for putting on the barbecue and to Ann for making cakes and Hadey for making biscuits. The catering crew made \u00a3150.00 towards the Barts Bash funds, well done girls.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let’s not forget the OOD Team, so thanks to Richard S (SOOD) and his team of Nev, Chris M, David H and Al E.<\/span><\/div>\n
