Summer Camp 2010
Friday 19th – Sunday
21st June
It’s nearly that time of year again to enjoy another Summer
Camp weekend at the sailing club – quite possibly the most exciting and
enjoyable event of the WRSC sailing and social calendar. This year will be the
5th Summer Camp weekend and another great opportunity for WRSC members
and their friends and family to enjoy both sailing and non-sailing activities
in a relaxed and welcoming environment. This is a clique-free zone – all the
adults and kids muck in together to make the weekend a success – camping, playing,
socialising, sailing, preparing food, and generally swelling the bar profits (the
adults that is!). You don’t need a family or children to attend – everyone is
welcome.
With our own fleet of Opis, Toppers and Larks and qualified
RYA trainers to provide assistance to beginners and less experienced sailors we
can provide on the water activities. There’ll also be some more experienced
sailors around to pass on tips to those keen to build on their own skills.
Even if you can’t join us for the whole weekend, this year
we are combining the camp weekend with the very funny and successful Indoor
Games event. So, if you’ve missed swinging a bottle between your legs or
dropping pennies from your derriere (!) do join us.
