The Season Starts Tonight!

Hi folks,

The new season starts tonight, and already it’s been cancelled due to strong winds expected later this afternoon!

All is not lost.

Starting this season, Mount Batten staff will be running a social and activity evening whenever the weather is unsuitable for sailing so please come along and join us for a fun activity.

Also tonight, it will be a good opportunity to register as a member and guarantee your spot this season.

So come come along this evening and join in the fun!

Regards,

Drake Sailing Club AGM on the 12th of March 2018

Hi Everyone,

Our Annual General Meeting is on Monday the 12th of March at 7pm the Mount Batten centre. This is open to all members so feel free to come along and have your say!

The other important date is the start of the season. This is on Tuesday the 1st of May. As usual we meet at around 5pm and hope to be on the water at 5:30 ish.

For Helms and volunteers, pre-season training starts on Tuesday the 17th and 24th of April at 5pm.

Can I also take this opportunity to thank the helms and volunteers for their help and support last season.

See you soon,

Dave H

Are we sailing this evening? The Big Question!

Hi folks,

We’ve spoken with Sam at the Mount Batten Centre and at the moment, sailing looks doubtful due to strong winds expected this afternoon. However, all is not lost!

Jo (our usual instructor and safety boat driver) has kindly offered to run a “soft archery” session in the centre. Cost is just £3!

So whatever the weather, we will be running an activity this evening.

As usual, please phone the Mount Batten reception desk after 1pm to find out if sailing is on or not.
Either way we hope to see you this evening at 5.30pm

Don’t forget Tonight is the last sailing session of the season.

Best wishes

Dave H
