Dear Parent and Junior Sailor,
Based on the success of the autumn coaching, the summer programme and a whole host of other junior sailing activities, the Club will be continuing to offer training and racing over the rest of the winter and spring.
We have a fabulous set of coaches lined up and the coaching will build on last year’s successful Winter Coaching.
Course Dates:
• February 5th
• February 12th
• February 19th
• February 26th
• March 4th
• March 11th
• March 25th
Courses will begin at Noon and finish at 17:00 and coaches will hold a briefing session first. In the event of bad weather we will use the time for sailing related shore based activity. Parking is included in the price and you will be issued with a parking sticker for this period ONLY. An information text message will be send out each Sunday morning to advise all on any further information regarding weather and sailing.
As ever, parents are encouraged to help with on the water safety and launching duty. We are always encouraged by how willing people are to help out as it is fun and becomes a social occasion. Parents are being asked to sign up for two Sundays to help with the sailing day. We will be contacting you about committing to a date or two.
All children are welcome. Please ensure that they have appropriate sailing clothing for the colder months ahead. Hot chocolate will be available at the end of each sailing session for the sailors.
We have had great success as a Club with our junior sailors over the past year and we are looking forward to watching the children develop their skills for what will be an exciting 2012 season. Thank you for your continued support in the development of sailing within the club.
The application form is available on the right. Please note that you must submit a separate form for each child.
Kind regards,
Junior Committee
Royal St George Yacht Club
