P roud to support Junior Sailing

Iam forever grateful that, after our initial lockdown which saw the Club closed for a period of time, life has almost returned to normal.

However, as a result of the lockdown, we were unable to hold our usual July Sundowner where we would get together in the Ward Room and watch the winter sun set over the river.

But November came along and I had what I thought was a brilliant idea to get out on the water and do some Stand Up Paddle Boarding. The Club is now doing classes and has a suite of them for members to make use of and as well as being fun to ride, they make great exercise partners.

However, the Grand Sponsors weren’t so keen to get wet, and, in their defense, November 13th was a miserably cold day. So with no takers for the SUP Carnival, we met as planned for drinks and canapés in the gorgeous beachside marquee.

Our Rear Commodore Regatta, Stephen Grover, gave a wonderful talk which reminded the Sponsors about how much their support not only helps the junior sailors but also can have far-reaching effects on their lives as they move on to bigger and better endeavours in the sailing world.

Thanks to those who attended, and I look forward to catching up in March for the 2021 Grand Sponsors Regatta.

We will be sailing the BW8 yachts with a gun junior sailor at the helm; an exciting series of races followed by drinks, food and presentations back at the club. Don’t miss it!
