GP14 Midland Bell open meeting at Midland Sailing Club by Charles Saunders 13 May 21:38 BST 9 May 2021
At last! The first Midland Bell open meeting for 18 months got under way at Midland SC in Edgbaston, Birmingham on Sunday 9th May. The host club made us all very welcome and a total of eleven boats sailed, five from the home club and six visitors (five Trimpley, one Staunton Harold). The wind was in a good direction for sailing but launching from a lee shore was difficult in the stiff breeze.
The race officers got us cleanly away on time at 11.00 and it soon became apparent that four Midland SC boats were going to have an almost private and close battle for the top spots with the rest of us trailing in their wakes. So it proved with Mark McKeever/Kev Hopkins taking the win followed by Chris Martin/Sam Bailey and Chris Winters/George Crabtree.

The Scituate wind turbine.
Responding to years of complaints from neighbors that they canât sleep at night because of the noise from the Scituate Wind turbine, the Scituate Select Board ordered the operation shut down at night â from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. â from mid-May to mid-October.
The seasonal hiatus will cost the town about $96,000, according to data from Scituate Wind, the private company that owns and runs the 400-foot-tall turbine on town property under a contract with the town.
