This newsletter has been written following a day of analysis and review of the implications of a Tier 3 lockdown at Budworth given the situation in Greater Manchester and Liverpool.

Racing update - 14th October 2020
The sailing at the weekend was extremely enjoyable with good wind and great courses. We had a fantastic turnout with good competitive racing, and I must make a special mention to the Juniors.
