Attenborough Sailing Club Open Day
Date

Time
11:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Description
The club enjoys the use of the Coneries Lagoon in the Attenborough Nature Reserve. It is the lake to the right as you drive to the Attenborough Nature Reserve Centre car park. We pride ourselves on being a friendly club and attract many residents from the local area who want to enjoy being on the water in such a pleasant environment. New members are always made to feel welcome. Over the last few years we have built a modern clubhouse with a viewing balcony overlooking the Nature Reserve with a fully equipped clubroom, changing rooms and access for the disabled. Many of our members have learnt to sail on one of our formal RYA courses that we run throughout the year; others may have learnt to sail whilst away on holiday and want to consolidate their experience by sailing with us. There are others who just enjoy being in and around boats. Members enjoy a variety of racing, cruising & social activities. Club racing takes place on Sundays & Wednesday evenings throughout the year. For those not wanting to race, social gatherings and cruising is increasingly popular on Friday afternoons and evenings. Our sport is not elitist. Our members are from many different walks of life. An individual membership is £120 a year and families, students and young people benefit from substantial discounts. Initially the club is able to provide new members with the use of club boats. Once a new member has decided that the sport is for them and what type of boat it is that they want to sail, a nice, pre-loved boat, can be purchased for a few hundred pounds. Boats are regularly exchanged within the club. Last year our Open Day was very popular with over 300 people visiting us. This year on the 22nd April between11am and 4pm we welcome the local community to again “come and have a go”. and try sailing for FREE. No booking is required. Just turn up with an old pair of soft shoes that might get wet and be taken out for a boat ride by an experienced sailor or just sit and relax, enjoy a tea, coffee or beer on our balcony and enjoy the activities.
