Barts Bash Charity Race - Sunday 15th September 2024

Once again BSC will be supporting Barts Bash.  This is a global charity race sailed at many clubs and venues all over the world - currently over 60 countries, 1000 venues and 23000 sailors registered.  Last year BSC sailors were in 9th and 10th place globally!  Funds for Barts Bash raised go towards supporting access to sailing for young people everywhere.  BSC directs 50% of our fundraising for this event to Barts Bash and 50% to the RNLI.

The race is the usual 11:45 handicap race on Sunday 15th September.  
Please join us for the race and please make a donation (whether sailing or not) either in cash in the collection box or by card using the machine.

Any suggestions or initiatives in fundraising for this gratefully accepted!
