The 2012 Blaze Nationals are taking place over 3 days from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th June at Brightlingsea SC near Colchester, Essex.

Brighlingsea offers a great area for racing with easy access to the water along with a great race committee.

There is PLENTY of very good accommodation in Brightlingsea, a camp site right next to the club (yes 50m away from the clubhouse) and you are right in the middle of the community - pubs, restaurants etc, etc, all on your doorstep and the club house itself always provides great socialable evenings!!

If you have not already heard, the Class Association is giving you the chance to get a £10 discount off your entry fee.

All you have to do is pay your 2012 membership fee along with a £20 deposit with your entry form for the Nationals before the end of the Dinghy Show on Sunday March 4th at 16:00hrs.

The entry fee this year is £55, but secure your discount and you will only need to pay the outstanding balance of £25 when you get to Brighlingsea, WHAT A BARGAIN!!!

In the past we have had 35+ deposits for CA membership and Nationals entry BEFORE the Dinghy Show and momentum then carries us over the 50 mark - All CA's want to be in the 50+ club ... at least we know with the Blaze it is very possible already ...so let’s set the target high this time - lets go for SIXTY - it is very possible with a lot of pushing and plugging from all of you, 'OUR MEMBERS' we will get 50+ for sure.

So make sure you put the date in your diaries now and book your time off so that you can be part of the BEST BLAZE NATIONALS EVER!!!!
