I am really pleased that we had another good turn out last night for the Adult Sailing Support for Beginners Sessions that we have been runing.
If you have missed the first couple of sessions, fear not you can catch up as we have recorded both of them, the sound quality on a couple of bits is one of our areas for improvement for the next session. However, you will be able to get a good idea of what has been going on will be able to learn from the sessions.
Therefore, I have created the next 6 weeks of invites for the Adult Sailing Support for Beginners on Facebook as this is the easiest way for us to manage the sessions.
These sessions have been and will continue to be be on Zoom and in the Club on Thursdays at 19:30 for 45 mins to 1hr
Zoom details are: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/4959293655
Or just Meeting ID: 495 929 3655
The link for the packs and recordings are: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HgS2Wa1p-oQyEHKlYZMUS2tdbtE5j3iz?usp=sharing
Please let us know if you would like to join us either on zoom or in the club by e-mailing [email protected]. You need to be a full member of the club, but you don’t need any sailing experience and there is no charge as these are not formal training sessions, just a group of sailors sharing some experiences, some videos we have found useful along with with some structure to help build confidence and capability and lots of audience participation!
