Taster Sessions Start for 2013
STARTING Wednesday 22nd May at 5 pm we will have Taster sessions at the club.
Much as in the past, we will arrange Dinghy Sailing, Windsurfing,Kiting Supp Boards etc for friends and family.We can jointly arrange to finish the evenings with a Barbie too!!!
We could possibly gain some funding support from the RYA if we can arrange 10 sessions ( could include Saturday AMs) and include adult learners too. Robbie Bell of the RYA might be able to arrange an assistant instructors course for 6 members . This would be over 2 days during June if there is sufficient interest.
Let me know if you wish to come down on the Wednesdays and if you would like to be one of the 6 Assistant Instructor trainees.
