Blokart Dust Off

You've been locked down, and of course you've been very sensible and stayed alert (has anyone worked out what that actually means?) - now it's time to get that Blokart out, head down to the aerodrome and have a sail. 

If the weather is favouable we will meet up for our first sail since lockdown began.

Please be advised we will ask all those wanting to sail to abide by current social distancing guidelines as seen below -
