NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING at Wilsonian Sailing Club Main Road Hoo ME3 9HF
SATURDAY 25th FEBRUARY 2017 at the Clubhouse it would be good to see all members
Thank you
KSSA is coming to Wilsonian! The KSSA Spring Training takes place at Wilsonian Sailing Club on Saturday 11th March 2017. This is an all day training event open to sailors under the age of 19 who can sail a triangular course. Please see www.kssa.co.uk nearer the time to register.
After that, Skimmers resumes on 1st April 2017.
Saturday Skimmers runs from 9.30am to 1pm every Saturday from the beginning of April till early October.
Racing group: three races back to back each week as part of the Spring, Early Summer, Late Summer and Autumn Series, with race coach support.
Intermediate group: introduction to racing and opportunity to practice skills before moving on to the main racing group.
Beginner group: learn how to sail using the club's Optimist dinghies. Please be aware that for this group it is sometimes necessary to restrict the numbers of boats on the water or hold a shore-based session instead if there are strong winds or adverse tide conditions.
We have a few other club boats available for those who don't yet have their own boat.
Skimmers, run entirely by Club volunteers, caters for juniors aged 7 to 18. A parent/guardian needs to be on site during these sessions if sailors are under 16 years. Try up to six sessions free before joining. For membership details click here.
Adults are encouraged to help support the Skimmers programme - we need crew for the safety boats, assistance in the race box, help with launch/recovery of the dinghies on the beach, and help in the kitchen every week! Lending a hand with the running of the programme from time to time or regularly is a great way to get to know other members and their families and to enjoy the benefits of the club.
Outline programme for Saturdays:
9.30 a.m. Arrive, rig boats and move them to the beach, change into sailing gear (wetsuits/buoyancy aids available)
10.30 a.m. Help launch the safety boats
11.00 a.m. Start of first race or coaching sessions
12.30 p.m. Boats ashore, pack away and change
1.00 p.m. Session ends - sausages/snacks and drinks for sale in the Clubhouse
