The regional heat will be held at Blithfield SC on the 5th September
2009. The winners from the West Midlands Region will then go onto
Southampton Boat Show, where the National Finals are
held.
In 2008 the West Midlands finalists were:
In the 8 to 12 yr category - Hannah Stevens came 6th overall.
In the 13 to 16 yr category - Jacque
Coetzee came 7th overall.
Andy Felthouse along with Jerry Blyth coordinate the 2009 West
Midlands event.
A great deal of time is also spent by members within the clubs
in promoting this event and preparing the youngsters for their
challange day, with hours given up in voluntary training.
If your club supports and promotes the Honda RIB Challenge then
why not consider hosting the event in 2010.. Contact Jerry Blyth
for details of whats required. It's probably less than you think.
If your club is not participating in this event yet, then again
talk to Jerry or Gareth Brookes to arrange a visit from one of
the Regional Developers who can assist the club with their preparation
and offer guidance on the insurance and legal matters which some
clubs believe is a barrier to participating in the event.
