Chipstead Open Meeting 17th Sept – best tea and cakes on the circuit!
Conveniently close to the M25, Chipstead SC is a very friendly club that has hosted our class for many years. A number of class stalwarts are members, such as our Boat Register Supremo Peter Lanham, Neil Banks (famous from his Gybe Mark Team antics at FFSC) and now those fast around the cans Dom Jennie and Izzy Johnson family. So friendly but great competitors springs to mind. Did I mention the club's legendary teas....just don't miss one is my advice!
