Great Sailing
(and tea and cakes)
We are lucky in a lot of respects to have the reach at Aquarius, yes it is a somewhat fluky reach with wind but we have a great outlook and Sunday afternoon teas on the deck after the first race after lunch are a joy. And 50p for tea and a cake are ridiculously cheap in this day and age and you don't even have to sail to benefit!
Just turn up and there will be someone willing to take you on as crew, how many clubs afford such an idyllic setting, not many!
Use of club dinghies is free(!) and there is usually someone around to help you rig and launch, social events abound and the costs are always good on the pocket. Why don't we have hundreds of members! Because when it's this good we keep it to ourselves!

(Commodore and cake lover).
Valley Gardens

More details in club house nearer the time.
