With snow still on the ground I have taken the decision to cancel the first Oppie Beach club on Saturday 31st March.

Due to current weather and water temperature I feel conditions are not yet suited to young children (or Adults!) spending time in the water, although boats will be available should more experienced Cadets wish to use them under their own parental organisation if we have unexpected favourable conditions.

The first Oppie club will be on the 21st April.  We will be running a rigging session to kick off the season on Friday 20th April at 7pm.  This will cover all club cadet boats;Oppies, Picos and Laser 4.7 and go through where they are kept, rigging, and packing away procedures.

A full programme of events and training will be published on the Cadet notice board over the next couple of weeks.

Hello,
So now the Rugby is out of the way we can all look forward to Easter.
I’m going to cook a TAPAS on Good Friday Evening, please book to help aid the processes.
I will publish the menu shortly!
Easter Day will be a Carvery, something for everyone with plenty of tasty desserts!
If the weather on Easter Monday allows, I will fire up the BBQ!!

I look forward to seeing as many members as I can over the long weekend.

Kind Regards

Club members are asked to help spring clean and tidy the club for the coming season.  Just a couple of hours of your time could make a difference.

There are a variety of jobs inside and outside the clubhouse and in the dinghy park.  No skills are needed, all ages are welcome.

Starting at 10am. Just turn up, in old working clothes.  Tools and materials will be provided and direction given, if needed.

See you there.
