Last Fling Pursuit Race at Blue Circle Sailing Club
Alpha Lake, Cliffe, North Kent, United Kingdom, October 15, 2017
by Richard Lambert (from Yachts and Yachting)
61 years of sailing and windsurfing at Blue Circle Sailing Club came to an end on Sunday. The club, based at Alpha Lake in Cliffe, North Kent was forced to close because the landlord, Brett Aggregates decided not to renew the lease and instead use the site for an ‘ecological enhancement’ which will reduce the 140 acre facility to 1 metre depth. The lake will be part-filled with spoil taken from industrial projects. Once completed, the site will be handed over to the RSPB to extend their neighbouring nature reserve.
