The work on the erection of the garages is progressing well. Many thanks to all of those who have given of their time to make this happen. The intention is to get the garages watertight and secure within the next week or so. Work will be continuing this Saturday, 26th of May if you can lend a hand.

On Sunday, 27th May,  the club will hold its first ever RC Laser Open. If you are usure about what this entails come on down and take a look.  Normal Sunday sailing is unaffected. First race 11:00am

Please Note Change of Day and Date

Davidson Trophy will now be this Saturday 19 May from 1200 with a barbecue after 3 races 2 to count if you're not in Greece try and make it

Working Party

There will be a working party on Saturday 28th April from about 10am to work on the construction of the new garages. It will need at least 5 people to move a panel safely so we need as many people as possible down at the club.

Topper Open

The club is hosting a Topper Open on Sunday 29th April. If you can be of some assistance please turn up nice and early on sunday as the first race starts at 11am, with a briefing at 10:30. Assistance is required form 8:30am.

Following the success of last year's Low Bank Ground Weekend, the club is to visit this beautiful Lake District Outdoor Centre on the weekend of August 31st to September 2nd 2012. The cost will be £55 including a Saturday evening meal. All are welcome. Please see Bernie for further details. 

Please see the new addition to the Sailing Home Menu for a new competition in this year's sailing programme!

Practice Day on Sunday seemed to go very well with quite a number of boats on the water ranging from Steve's new RS Vario to 3 club toppers with people getting ready for the season ahead.

As well as full sized dinghies the one design RC Laser Fleet which has recently swelled to 4 boats (with more people having a go) got on the water with some short informal races held.

  "OK, one last time. These are small... but the ones out there are far away."

We look forward to seeing even more people down next week as the first week of the Spring Series takes place to kick off the rest of the year!
