In April we will be repeating our 2012 trip to Weymouth from Wednesday the 10th to Sunday the 14th of April, that’s 5 nights away. There is the option to come for fewer nights or even just for the weekend. As many of you will know Weymouth offers very safe sailing on flat water in Portland Harbour. Open to clean winds from the South and West and reaches of half a mile or so make it an ideal location for Weymouth Speed Week and it will suit our purposes very well. We will be organising GPS units.

We are now able to offer day membership to allow guests to use club equipment. The change of insurers to the RYA has opened the possibilites for us to attract new members by allowing them to try out the sport easily and inexpensively. Previously we could not allow guests to use any of the club equipment as they would not have been insured, but now, any equipment the club owns, including the tandem, can be used by guests, but in order for them to be covered they will have to be become Day Members and this is at the invitation of a  full club member. For open days, taster sessions  and day training the invitation will be by the club and the committee will undertake to sign members of the public in.

Even though the water level in the lake was very high we have managed to bale out the hole and the digger was making good progress.

After our attempts to dig the ramp by hand we decided to hire a digger.

We booked him on Thursday and then of course we had the heavens open on Friday. When we arrived at 7:15 Saturday morning the ramp area was full of water and the lake  was over the bank, about 60cm higher than normal. We managed to fill the channel with soil and sods and started to bail the water.

Making good progress until…….
