The club will be organising a trip to Weymouth from Thursday the 19th to Monday the 23rd of April, thats 5 nights away. As many of you will know Weymouth offers very safe sailing on flat water in Portland Harbour. Open to clean winds from the South and West and reaches of half a mile or so make it an ideal location for Weymouth Speed Week and it will suit our purposes very well.

Click Image to download the PDF.

This years AGM will be held at the same venue as last year. We have the function room booked and a buffet will be provided. Please arrive in good time to get yourself a drink, we have had an eventful year and we have a lot to talk about.

Bribery!!…… All current members renewing at the AGM will be entitled to either:-

A Nobles voucher value £20 (against a minimum spend of £40) or,
A free upgrade to Family Membership.

We are planning a club trip to Weymouth in April. Safe sailing in Portland Harbour, staying in either hostel style accommodation or static caravans. It will be for 5-6 days or so spanning a weekend and we would like to be able to hire some GPS gear so we can have some competitions for various ability levels. We need to know provisional numbers so please let us know if you are interested.

There is a possibility of a Club trip to Vass in May. If you would be interested get in touch so we can start negotiations. Ian Thatcher will be organising. After going in September for the last few years we decided its probably better to try a different time of year as the wind is very fickle in September.

We recently sent out to all club members a copy of the Club Development Plan. We will be formally presenting this at the AGM and asking for assistance to help get all the new projects off the ground. Any and all help, however limited will be very much appreciated.

Hope to see lots of you there…..

A request for help

Posted on December 5, 2011 by hywel

The committee have been discussing for quite a while now, how we go about making the club bigger and better. Over the last few years we have seen a number of new initiatives that have helped recruit new members to the club, culminating this year with the biggest influx for many years, 13 new members. There are a number of important factors that have changed the recruitment fortunes this year and to further build on this success we would like to let our members know what we would like to put in place commencing with the 2012 season.

The Tiree Trip – an occasional windsurfers perspective

Posted on November 5, 2011 by hywel

Getting there….

Cliff on the trusty old F2 Strato

I am driving a mini-bus heading south down the M6 on my way back from Tiree. We are currently just north of Carlisle, travelling at around 60 mph. This is not for any reasons of economy but it’s as fast as we can go due to the limiter, the only down side in my opinion, on what has been a very enjoyable week. However, the leisurely pace gives me plenty of time to reflect on the trip.

When the idea of going to Tiree was first suggested, to be honest I was a bit undecided whether to bother going. However, I had heard good reports about Tiree and it was on my list of places to see. So, once I got the green light from the family down my name went. Continue reading →
