Gresford Sailing Club

Introducing Thursday Evening Social Sailing

Posted on May 16, 2022 Updated on May 16, 2022

All are welcome to come down to the Flash on Thursday evenings 1800-2030 for social sailing during the summer months.

Dinghy sailors must have safety boat cover in order to sail.

When Stand Up Paddle boarding or sailing your model boat there must be a minimum of two people on site for safety reasons.

Feel free to reach out to me (Lee) for safety cover by emailing webmaster.gresfordsc@gmail.com, if I can’t help I’ll try to find somebody that can.

This week on the Flash

Posted on Apr 14, 2022 Updated on Apr 14, 2022

A quick update on our activities.

Thanks to RYA Wales, instructors and the parents for making the open Junior sail training that has been taking place over the last two Sundays such a success.

We have been training parents/volunteers to assist with Friday Evenings Juniors which will help the sessions going forward. Our thanks to these volunteers.

The Clubhouse is being tidied up & the toilet block is almost ready for the new season. Just needs a bit of TLC to complete.

Club boats & equipment are now ready to be used.

Wedensday evenings: weekly dinghy racing with an individual handicap system. This allows anyone with the basic skills to take part, use a club boat or crewe for others.

Please come along, to take part, watch or help out as it’s a great way of getting involved & learning the system. You can plod round the course, watching & learning or be competitive. The choice is yours, no pressure.

Saturday morning improver sessions start for parents/adults to have a go plus Junior Improvers who are capable of sailing unaided are welcome. Club boats can be hired.

Thanks again for all of your help in keeping our club going.

BPeteB.
