GP14 Championships 2009
May 12th, 2008 by Craig HewettMAJOR FIXTURES 2009
The Grand Prix season will kick off in April with the Midland Championship at Staunton Harold SC, before returning to the popular venue and one of the original homes of GP14 sailing, Aberdovey. The Scottish Championship sees the introdution of a new venue, Loch Ryan, before another favourite, Bassenthwaite SC, hosts the Northern Championship at the end of June leading us into a 3 day National Championship at Llandudno, 3-5 July. For those who are old enough, the 2009 UK Masters will be held at Hollingworth, before we can all regroup at another great inland venue, Derwent Reservoir SC, for a grand finale at the Inland Championship.
