Matador Crew Networking
This is a photo of the crew of Matador at our last trivia night. It's lovely to be a part of a boat crew, go to social events at the club and make new friends on and off the water.

If you're a boat looking for crew or crew looking for a boat, send a note to Ann, and we'll start gathering interest for a crew networking event.

We want to ensure equal boats for interested crew and vice versa so please get in touch!

Have you wanted to get into racing but are unsure how to start?

Novice skipper start practice will be run alongside race officer training. No racing experience is necessary. We'll pair you with an experienced person. A short theory briefing will proceed on water practice.
After the briefing, why not give the Squadron Sunday race a go to put your new skills to the test?

Any Members who have children/grandchildren 18 or under who are interested in sailing or want a go, please come and have a bit of fun. BYO BBQ at the club on return.

Let's try and get the kids involved..they may like it too. If you don't have a boat to sail on, let the office know, and we'll do our best to get a spot for you.

Weather permitting, of course.
