New picnic tables
We took delivery of new picnic tables today 🙂
We’d ordered 3 and then wonderful, charming, generous former-club secretary Lesley Lees offered to pay for a fourth!
Hasn’t this club got some amazing members? 🙂 xxx
Push the Boat Out
This coming Sunday May 21st we are offering FREE Taster sessions for sailing, SUP & kayak with RYA Push The Boat Out.
This is a great opportunity to get out on the water to enjoy the stunning surroundings, meet some great people who are passionate about various water sports and to try all these sports for yourself in a safe supported environment.
From racing across the water on a high performance catamaran, cruising in a Quba or paddling your way along the shore line on a paddle board or kayak, there is something to suit all tastes and levels of confidence.
Come along between 1300-1700 on Sunday with your friends and family to make the most of this fantastic opportunity 🙂
Sunny Sunday on the catamaran’s

Bags of Help
If you shop in Hunstanton or Heacham Tesco’s – keep an eye out for the ‘Bags of Help’ section where you can vote for three local projects – one of which is for some new SUP’s for Hunstanton Sailing Club 
🙂
Each time you make a purchase you get a token (unless you use the self-service tills) – place the token in the slot of the project you’d like to support 🙂
The promotion runs throughout May and June…
- The Bags of Help initiative is supported by money from the five pence charge levied on single-use carrier bags in Tesco stores.
- So far Bags of Help has awarded over £28.5 million to  more than 4,000 community projects.
