Dear Members and Guests,
You are formally invited to our inaugural Family Camp, to be held at Beaver Sailing Club Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd June 2017.
Join in and make the fun happen
RSVP – Mark Timmans – shortieandels@me.com – 07786 967 927
Come and join the fun!
On the theme “Swallows and Amazons for ever!”, the fun starts at 10:00am Friday 2nd June and continues on till Sunday Racing.
- Friday – on the water activities and coaching for the youngsters, followed by a BBQ, games, film, dancing, (and a few beers).
- Saturday – mini Junior Regatta followed by “Water Awareness (swimming)” activities and another BBQ party into the night.
- Sunday – a junior race before the main club racing.
Camp overnight if you can – it’s an adventure! If you don’t want to camp, come and party long into the night.
The small print
This is not a RYA affiliated event. It is restricted to BSC members and their invited guests. Members will be responsible for their children / guests at all times.
It is being organised on a collaborative basis – adults must get involved, make suggestions and run activities. Parents will not be able to drop off and leave unless they can arrange for someone else to supervise their children and play their part.
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:
- day (on and off the water)
- evening
- party games
- Food – No food provided, please bring your own
- We will be firing up the club BBQ each evening for you to use.
- You are free to use the club facilities and kitchen.
- Loads of sailing gear as we will all be getting wet.
- Dancing shoes!
Costs (To be confirmed)
- £5 per person per day (Members, Guests and children) (to cover Beaver SC costs)
- Non Members – £15 per day
- Use of club boats – £10 per day
We hope that you can join us and enjoy all that Beaver SC can offer.
Please let me know that you are coming along with how many will be in your party.
