LWA Event Calendar 2012

Windsurfing Racing with the LWA

Briefing at all events is scheduled for 10.30 with first race at 11.00. Usually two races are held before lunch and two afterwards, weather permitting. Entry fees for 2012 are subject to review at the AGM on Sat 3 March 2012.

BEGINNER RACERS VERY WELCOME:
One of our functions as a region, which we are very pleased to undertake, is to introduce newcomers to racing. We run a “grand prix finish” system so even if you manage to complete only one lap you get a position. Beginners to racing are especially welcome, please see our “Starting Racing” page and please feel free to email or phone us for advice. If requested, there will be a special “Beginners’ Briefing” after the main briefing at events.

BUOYANCY REMINDER:
ALL sailors are advised to bring buoyancy to ALL events, for those under 18 it is compulsory at all times and for the rest the Race Officer has the power to require all sailors to wear buoyancy if he decides it is necessary.

LWA 2012 Melting Pot Races and AGM:

The Melting Pot Races and AGM will take place at Queen Mary Sailing Club on Sat 3 March 2012. Briefing 10:30, first race scheduled for 11:00, two or three races depending on the weather, then lunch, followed by the AGM, starting at 13:30. However if racing is cancelled the AGM will start no earlier than 12:30, so if you are only coming for the AGM you need to be at Queen Mary for a 12:30 start, just in case!
 

Entry fees: Adults: £15.00, Youths/Juniors: £10.00
