The activities of the Club, including recreational and training events, are
scheduled via the calendar. The
Strangford Lough events are also listed, including other regattas to which we
send a safety boat. The fuller details of these regattas are contained in a
separate web site for the Strangford Lough Regatta
Programme, and we commend
regatta sailing to the Club.
The Club can only operate such an extensive calendar of events by the voluntary
assistance of its members, enlisted by the rota associated within the printed
Members Handbook. The Club is most grateful for the substantial assistance
received from members and it is important that this work burden is shared. We
are providing training and instruction to assist in preparing members for these
duties. Anyone who is unfamiliar with any aspect of the calendar, sailing or
duties is most welcome to contact an appropriate officer from the Committees.
