Solo Offshore Racing – Fri 21st June at 8:30pm

Come and listen to Aaron Cooper talk about his year racing on the highly competitive Figaro Circuit.

The talk is about Aaron's season spent out in France racing on the single handed Figaro circuit as part of the Artemis Offshore Academy. He will explain about the boat and the style racing and how it differs to anything in the UK at the moment, which will include videos and pictures from his racing and campaign.

Aaron grew up sailing dinghies on a local pond and moved up into yacht racing on the Solent with the Bear of Britain and British Keelboat Academy. Last year he was selected to join the Artemis Offshore Academy to take on the new challenge on solo offshore racing in the competitive French Figaro circuit. He is now hoping to find sponsorship to get on the start line of the Solitaire du Figaro, to compete in the month long gruelling solo event.

Friday Fun Night – 14th June 2013 – Run / Walk Handicap Challenge

Is it two miles or is it two and a half, you decide? Our fun night handicap is open to teams of three people. Your team must stick together. You can start whenever you want - the winners will be the team that finishes closest to the finish time below. You can run fast, run slow, walk, hop or skip – it is all about knowing the distance and your team pace or in other words how fast you will complete the course. The team finishing closest to 19.45 (7.45pm) is the winning team. See e-mail for route & The Rules!
