Bart’s Bash has seen more than 45,000 sailors participate at their home clubs in 62 countries across the past 2 years. The event is a great opportunity to raise funds for the Andrew Simpson Sailing Trust, which is focused on encouraging young people to get involved in the wonderful sport of sailing. Donations bouncy castle for sale can be made by each sailor on the website.

Spread the word to your family and friends and let’s see if we can achieve the biggest fleet and fund raising event St Catherine’s Sailing Club has ever seen!
