2019 Eight Hour RNLI Race - Saturday 11th May
Himley Hall Sailing Club set itself a target to raise £100,000 for the lifeboats by the time of our 50th Anniversary in 2020. We are happy to say that the target was hit (and exceeded) in 2018 and now we are pushing on to raise even more for this important cause
We are trying a few new things this year with a view to having an even bigger and better for our anniversary. This year's sponsored race will be a longer 8 hour event and competitors can sail as part of a team or as individuals. As we will be finishing later we are hoping to arrange for camping in the grounds of the hall to be available on both the night before the event and on the night of the event itself. We would love to see sailors from other clubs sailing and any class of dinghy under 15 feet is allowed to sail. Please get in touch with Alan Dean (see our events and committee page for details) if you would like to be involved.
