The Fireball Class are running a training day with the renowned Adam Bowers at Draycote Water Sailing Club on Friday 11th April. Adam's unique style means that his sessions are fun as well as informative and, as a former Fireball World Champion himself, he brings specific insight into what makes a Fireball tick.

The day caters for all levels and, with a limit of 14 boats, you can be sure that there will be plenty of time for Adam to give you specific advice on any areas on which you want to focus.

The cost for the day is £60 per boat. To secure your place please complete the registration form and transfer your fee to the UKFA as follows:
Account Name: UK Fireball Association
Sort Code: 30-93-68
Account Number: 17648568
Please use "Training" PLUS your Sail Number as the payment reference (e.g. "Training 15222")

Please note that the day is heavily supported by the UKFA to return value to association members, so it is only available to full UKFA members (local membership does not count for this day). If you are not already a member, you can join via UK Fireball Class Association.

And if you fancy putting your new skills to the test why not stay around at Draycote to participate in the class's Spring Championships for the Thomas Castle Aviation Heritage Trophy over the weekend of 12th and 13th April?
