Here we go again… we have water! So it’s time to get our fabulous sailing club up and running again. As you already know we are lighting the club BBQ around 6pm on Sunday 29th for our first get together of 2021. Bring your own food to cook and something to drink. Why not stay over in your van or tent. Whilst you are at the club we are asking for your much needed help to tidy the place up after it’s long sleep! We can make a start by litter picking and doing a tidy up in the boat park. The green bins are emptied every 2 weeks, so let’s make sure they are full. A bigger project is planned for the weekend of 11th and 12th September when we are asking for your HELP with specific jobs, Jon Aldhous is going to put a list on the big white board at the club lounge. Bring your power tools/ gardening tools and cleaning equipment and do whatever your good at. There is something for everyone to do, just ask and we will find you a suitable task. We look forward to seeing all our club members again very soon, so let’s get our club fit for purpose again and back to the hive of activity it was before the events of the last year or so. See you soon, Martin.

The ethos of the camp will be to
- Get involved as a family and make a difference
- Join in, try your hardest and make friends
- Respect Beaver Sailing Club, the equipment and others
- Have fun!
What should each family bring?
Ideas – We need lots of suggestions for games and activities. Think about things everyone can do during the:

- party games

BSC’s Henry Wetherell wins 2018 Finn Nationals
Henry Wetherell
Henry Wetherell clinched his first Finn national title at Mengeham Rythe SC on Sunday after only one further race was possible.
British Sailing Team member Wetherell also took the U 23 title, ahead of GAC Pindar U 23 Cameron Tweedle in second with Grand Master Graham Tinsley third.
An impressive 58 entries underlines the growing strength of the UK Finn fleet with 10 U23 sailors taking part. In recent years the British Finn Association with sponsor GAC Pindar has supported an U23 squad with grants and training, and four of those were among six U23 sailors in the top 10.
