Worthing Birdman 2013 preview

An entrant from last year's Birdman takes flight

FLYING fun returns to Worthing this weekend for the ever-popular annual Birdman event.

The competition, which attracts participants from across the globe, will see serious flyers compete to glide a distance of 100 metres into the English Channel for a £10,000 cash prize.

Sharon Clarke, Worthing town centre manager, said: “There will be full competition on both days which is the first time we have done that. It’s bringing Worthing to the forefront both nationally and internationally.”
