2008 Fireball Youth Championships at Ogston SC.

The 2008 Fireball Youth Championships are to be held on the 17th & 18th May at Ogston S.C. The event is combined with our 25th Fireball Open, and as well as the hosting Youth Championships we are also looking forward to welcoming Classic Fireball sailors who will be competing for their own prizes amongst the main fleet.

We have managed to obtain a significant amount of generous support from the industry so there's a whole host of prizes available to be won, from goody bags DVDs and magazine subscriptions to new dinghy smocks and buoyancy aids. We are intending to spread these prizes throughout the whole fleet so there is plenty of incentive for everyone to take part. The UKFA has also agreed to offer a free place at next years training event to the first youth boat.

There will be food available from lunch time on Saturday with a hot 2 course meal and a well stocked bar at night for those who wish to stay for a chat and a chance to play GIANT JENGA. With free camping available on site and 5 great races planned, this event is set to be unmissable

Sunday morning will see the best bacon butties on the circuit available for breakfast with a choice of sandwiches or hot lunch at midday.

Please call Sue Smith 01246 203842 or 07905 113825 a chat for more information, alternatively full details including directions and a pre-registration form can be found on our web site www.ogstonsc.org.uk or email fireball@ogstonsc.org.uk
