New 2024 Calendar
Hi Everyone
As you all know we had a great season last year and to kick this year off with a bang we have decided to run a number of events at the Club. The new calendar is HERE, have a look and save the dates.
To kick the year off we have the ROD boat familiarisation day and membership Q&A session in the club house on 2nd March from 12:00, anyone who needs help signing up for this years membership is welcome to attend and we can help you through the process.
For all of you who raced last year the calendar includes the racing days and series, you will need to sign up to a minimum of 2 race officer duties on a Sunday and if you sailed the winter series or Wednesday night series you will need to sign up for at least one of each before 1st of March.
The calendar will be displayed in the Club house on the racing board, all you need to do is fill in your preferred dates and turn up on the days you sign up for, if you can’t get to the Club to sign up please email [email protected] with your preferred dates and we will put you on the list if those dates are still available. We will get back to you if your preferred dates are not available.
Many thanks to those of you who have already signed up or are going to sign up, your Club appreciates you and the help you give us to run a successful racing calendar.
Anyone who raced last year and who does not sign up for a race officer duty will be allocated days instead and notified via email. Remember it is vitally important to all of us who race that everybody takes their turn in the ROD role, without your support the racing will not be possible. If you didn’t race last year but still feel like helping out you will be more than welcome to assist the Race Officer on the day.
As promised the sailing lessons for adults and juniors (8 years and older), power boat (12 years and older) lessons and paddle board lessons (8 years and older) are now available to book online via the web collect page, HERE. Please book early to avoid disappointment as we anticipate a very high demand.
Following last years success there is the much anticipated return of the family days, with Paddle Fest and Paddle board Yoga in June and Dragon Board racing (teams of 4, best team name wins a prize) and Wing Surfing in August, again these can be booked on the web collect page HERE.
We also have a number of new events this year, with the postponed Windsurfer improver session now happening in May, bookable Swedish and Reiki massage sessions in June, and Wellness Days throughout the year.
On the racing front we have the brilliant end of season Streaker Open meeting in October and the all new RS300 Open meeting in July.
Cheers
Beaver Sailing Club
