The Frostbite series to 18/12/11 (Final) ~ Top Three's

As of 13/11/11 BGSC has two more fleets. This is as a result of the rather sad closure of Ragley S.C., the upside being that quite a number of their sailors have joined BG and brought two new fleets with them. Mirrors and Merlin Rockets will feature in our sailing programme from now on. We have also gained Laser and Enterprise sailors. The club is very pleased to extend a warm welcome to our new sailing friends. A small gallery HERE.
