<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hey Vanguardians,<br><br></div>We have a really cool opportunity to be part of the world's largest regatta -- no joke, they're working with the Guinness people -- in honor the late Bart Simpson.<br>
<br></div>The regatta's called "Barts Bash", and it consists of regattas held worldwide on September 21. It'd be great if we could participate by holding races on Clipper Cove that day. Especially given our location just a mile or so from where he passed. <br>
<br>So -- who's up for being regatta chair?<br><br></div>More info below and at:<br><a href="http://www.bartsbash.co.uk/">http://www.bartsbash.co.uk/</a><br><a href="http://www.bartsbash.co.uk/assf-barts-bash-frequently-asked-questions">http://www.bartsbash.co.uk/assf-barts-bash-frequently-asked-questions</a><br>

<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Thank you for registering an interest for your club to participate in Barts Bash 2014.
<u></u>
<u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">This is an amazing chance for your club to be part of a world record attempt for the “largest dinghy sailing race in history”, whilst having a major club event which includes
all ages and abilities and makes the most out of local, regional and national press related to the day. We are also accepting clubs internationally and we are now accepting Yacht clubs, windsurfing clubs and model yacht clubs who wish to get involved as well.
<u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">We anticipate this being an open event, so it would be great for clubs to open their doors to local sailors who aren’t members, schools in the area, or any other people who
fancy going sailing AND being part of a world record attempt.<u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">The event is being run through the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation and has the support of Sir Ben Ainslie.
<span style>
It will take place on the 21st September 2014.<u></u><u></u></span></font></font></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri"><span style>Ideally we need one point of contact at the club.
If this is not yourself, please let us know who it will be, we will need name, e-mail and phone.</span><u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Anyone else from your club who looks to register will receive an e-mail informing them that your club has already registered and they should contact their sailing committee
for full details. Please mention at your next committee meeting that you have registered.
<u></u><u></u></font></font></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">As part of the promotion of the event, we would like to put on our facebook page that you are signed up to the project, if you could provide us with a photo of the club, a
link to your website and a comment such as how you are really keen to be part of Barts Bash then we can advertise your clubs participation.
