RS sailors to arrive at the Ball in style

As part of Volvo Car UK's continued support of the RS Association, RS sailors are being given the opportunity to 'win a car for their RS event'. Three lucky winners will have a Volvo collected and delivered from their choice of address, complete with a towbar and full tank of fuel, to help transport them and their boat to the End of Seasons Championship and RS20th Anniversary Ball in comfort and style.

Sailors need to have entered the event and followed this link by midday on Monday 27th October to be entered into the draw. Click here

The RS Class Association’s glittering Volvo sponsored RS 20th Anniversary Ball takes place on November 8th at Dorney Lake, the 2012 Olympic rowing venue, when RS sailors, sponsors and friends of the past and present will come together and celebrate the brand which has truly changed the face of UK dinghy sailing.

If you’re lucky enough to be there, you’ll be greeted at the door with a glass of chilled bubbly served from a state-of-the-art RS400 ice-bucket, and enjoy a superb three course dinner and speeches followed by live music from DfunK and carriages at midnight.

Tickets for this glam, black-tie Ball cost just £29.00 and are available from the RS Class Association web site shop. Only 250 tickets are available and needless to say they’re being snapped up fast. Clubs, classes, committees and companies have all booked tables already. So do your friends and marine industry colleagues a favour and make sure they know about it, polish your shoes and pick your frock for the RS party of the decade!

The Ball will take place on the Saturday evening of the Volvo RS End of Season Championships, at nearby Datchet Water SC, where 10 of the RS Classes from the Tera to the RS800 will compete on the same patch of water in the final big RS festival of sailing of 2015. Visit the RS Class website for more details and entry information.
