UK Formula Future ORC - March round-up
Stewartby training weekend, new members and RYA awards dinner
Stewartby Training weekend
The weekend saw members old and new come to test their boats for the upcoming season. Saturday was spent having some basic classroom training which was then taken out on the water. Sunday more practice races took place followed by Top-gun. Everyone agreed it was well worth participating, roll on the first heat.

Hosted by RYA powerboat racing manager John Puddifoot and champion driver Shelley Jory-Leigh our 2010 champions took to the stage to collect their awards amongst the elite of the sport, then after a sumptuous meal boogied the night away and had a few beers (Sam Whittle!!).
