Halloween Howler
Leeds University SC hosts the Halloween Howler at West Riding Sailing Club.
This warm up event for the team racing season will be sure to blow the cobwebs away from the summer partying and get some extended time on the water. With the sailing on Wintersett Reservoir WF4 2EE and the socials in Leeds, it is an event not to be missed.
We aim to provide a strongly competitive event that is also accessible to those new to team racing looking at what could possibly be their first event of the year.
For more details see the Notice of Race and Entry FormLeeds will be once again presenting the option of our cheque free damage deposit scheme this year. This ensures the no cheque policy recently adopted by some university unions doesn’t have to affect personal bank accounts.

Are you interested in hosting the 2015 Finals? If so, please take a close look at the Bidding Information, which covers all the information you will need. The closing date for bids is TBC.
The Championship Finals is one of the premier team racing events in the UK and is the culmination of the university team racing season. The competition can be fierce
and the difference between the top teams very slight, making for excellent racing and good spectating. Aside from the prestige of hosting the event, most host clubs have benefited in financial terms from being host.
