Wigan Sailing Club

As part of the social programme,  Wednesday 17th March features an illustrated talk by Charlie Hitchen on the subjects of sailing and canoeing. This talk will feature slides, video footage and chat as Charlie recounts a series of wild and windy canoe/mountaineering adventures on the West Coast of Scotland. 

The evening should be entertaining, educational and funny. 

As always,  a Holland's PIE  and peas will be available and all funds raised will go to the new building fund. 

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!.

Thanks are due again to Dave and Diane Lewis for another excellent quiz night on Wednesday 17th of February.  The victors were a team with the dubious title of "Knee deep in snow" which contained  a large scouse element.  Incredible! Significantly this group had difficulty in eating their full measure of the now traditional pie and peas refreshments. As usual a good night was had by all.

Following a meeting with Martin Ware (RYA Regional Adult Coach) It was decided that we should increase the number of qualified powerboat drivers at the Sailing Club.
