We had 265 visitors on the day (7th May) at Weir Wood SC, and 20 new memberships signed on the day. So not bad at all. Great work by everyone concerned. More memberships will roll in from it over the next couple of months.

We saw plenty, especially from the kids which was amazing given then weather.

Hunts was absolutely buzzing all day yesterday for push the boat out. We could offer joyrides in the morning but when the wind dropped in the afternoon we had 6 boats constantly out on the water giving joyrides and the local Guides were selling cake too.

We may not get a flood of new members out of it but the club profile has definitely been raised locally.

Ditto, Push the boat out, cold, wet and very windy, 2 capsizes fortunately no customers on board.
Nasty lee shore, we had to take trialers out to boats, I think this added to excitement though, everyone said they enjoyed it, and they ate all the cakes.

Ours was lovely last weekend!

Was running a Level 2 course today with 4 enthusiastic students. Good framework for getting people able to sail independently and think for themselves. Looking forward to tomorrow.
