weekday sailing

   At Whitefriars we do the usual Wed night race, running from early April to early Sept, and over the summer run a "supervised Sailing" session (usually with a BBQ or similar) on a Friday late afternoon/evening. 

Last year, the weather got in the way of this rather, but in 2011 it was very popular.

Some weekday training courses are run if there are takers, too.

	We have Adult training on Tuesday evenings in the summer, racing on Wednesdays. We offer cheap Wednesday only membership, which does have a small takeup.

	Hi Wingit lOSSC runs Tuesday evening races which are the best attended of any series and this year we will be doing a gentle intro to racing on Thursday evenings for the training groups to try and bridge the gap to club racing which they seem to be scared of. So if your club does not offer weekday racing start it or join another. you cannot beat a lovely evening sail followed by a beer and banter.

	Does your club offer sailing on weekdays/nights? If so, what format does it take - training, juniors, racing, cruising? Is it popular? Has it affected the success of the club as a whole ie more members, more people racing at weekends? If your club doesn't offer weekday sailing, would you go along if it did, and what nights/days would suit you best? What would make you most likely to go - training, racing, cruising? Or is sailing something you just do at weekends?
