2022 Competitions now open for entries.

Our website is now available to accept entries in any of the digital and print competitions that our club is running next year.

As previously advised due to renovations at the Belmont 16s Sailing Club we will be holding our print competition nights at the Valentine Bowling Club, on the second Wednesday of each month. As a result entries for monthly competitions will close one week earlier. This means that our first face to face meeting will be on Wednesday 12th January at 6.30 pm for a 7.00pm start. Entries for our January competitions , digital and print, must be uploaded by 11.00pm on Sunday 9th January. So, not much time to get your entries in. Further reminders will be sent closer to the date.
