Published 11:58 on 3 Jan 2023
Happy New Year! We hope everyone has had a good time over the festive period. Club staff have returned to work today and are busy responding to your emails and messages!
2023 Annual Membership Renewals
Thank you to everyone who has already renewed their annual membership for 2023! Our early bird renewal discount runs until the end of January, so you've still got time to take advantage of the reduced rate for this year!
If you haven't renewed yet you can do so here on our website!
New Years Day Race
Our racing programme kicked off the new year on 1st January with our New Years Day Handicap Race!
A write up of the racing from John D can be seen here.
The full results can be seen here!
Social Sailing
Social Sailing restarts this Thursday at 10.30am, currently it's looking like the nicest day of the week so why not come down and go for a sail or paddle?
RYA Dinghy Instructor Course
Don't forget we are running an RYA Dinghy Instructor course during February half term, with a pre-entry assessment running on Sunday 22nd January! For more details please email James on training@spinnakerclub.co.uk
Club Racing
Our racing programme continues this Sunday with week 3 of our Icicle Series! After a very cold first week, and racing abandoned on week 2 due to a frozen lake there is still everything to race for! Due to the abandoned races your 5 best scores will count!
The start signal will be at 10.30 this Sunday!
RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show 2023!
Please see a message below from the Sailing Committee!
The turkey's a fading memory, the alkas-seltza's have worked. You may have made it to our New Year's Day Race or decided to wait a bit longer to take off the boat cover in 2023. Either way, a good way to kick start the sailing year is a visit to the RYA Dinghy Show back again just a close reach away at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre on 25/26 Feb.
RYA members get a complimentary ticket (otherwise £21) and kids under 15 go free.
As we did last year, the Club plans to meet up on the Sunday. If you fancy a chance to catch up, we will meet at the bar and café area on the Sunday at 2 pm.
See you soon!
