The Travellers Trophy

A record of a sailing achievement by a member of the Club that is above the normal level of BSC sailing and may include, racing events, delivery trips, sail training or boat charters. The craft entered – not necessarily be owned by the member - may be any sailing vessel ranging from a dinghy to a square-rigged schooner. The passage or cruise would not start and finish in the River Alt. Indeed, the passage or passages could take place anywhere in the World.

 

The assessment of the record will be based on the quality of the sailing experience, the achievement, the role of the entrant, the way in which the experience may have contributed to the BSCs reputation as a club or to sailing as a sport.

One copy of the records will be sufficient.

 

The Travellers Trophy record should be handed to the Sailing Secretary (Gary Newman) by 1st November

The Cruising Cup

 

For the best log of a cruise starting and finishing at the River Alt during 2025

 

The assessment of the Log will be made on factors such as the cruise plan, the passage plan, departures and destinations, speeds, distances run, courses, weather experienced and the passage descriptions. Supporting details such as chartlets, plans, illustrations and photographs should be included.

 

 

 

 

Logs should be handed to Gary Newman the Sailing Secretary by 1st November

Come along to support the club on Friday 21st March , when we will host a 60s Bingo Night. The idea being music from the 60s era will be played and this hopefully ties up with the title of the song on your bingo ticket. We did this last year with great success.
Bingo tickets will be priced at £1 with all proceeds paid out in prizes.
Anyone who is in need of something to eat we will offer a choice of Chicken Curry or Vegetable Curry for purchase on the night.
As this is a Friday evening the club will be open to all members as usual for anyone who wishes to come along just for a drink.

We cannot reserve tables as this is an open evening for our members , Curry will be available about 19:00 with the bingo to commence afterwards.
