This is an opportunity to hear from others about their sailing journey and meet with other people involved with the club. Please let us know if there is anything you'd like us to cover. This is open to everyone - sailing school participants, club members and any people interested in learning more about sailing. Tuesday 23 Jan 2024 6pm to 7.30pm register
