Pink Day Christmas Party 12th Dec 2009

It was a picture postcard winter scene as we arrived for the Christmas Pink Fleet fun, games and dinner. The blue sky and a low sunshine and small amount of wind were just perfect for the games to begin. Boats were decorated and those sailing dressed up in their most fetching Christmas outfits. We had been told there would be prizes! Father Christmas stepped into the rescue boat and the game started. Read on...

Pink Day 12th Sep 2009

You would not believe it! It was Pink Day at Reading Sailing Club on THE most beautiful day in early September. The sun was warm as we gathered: some were rigging their boats; some were chatting in the galley. Chef Paul had his work cut out cooking bacon and mushrooms for about 40 people. Barbara was busy filling bread sticks adding a slice or 2 of tomato to our bacon butties! Read on....

Camp-Sail 2009 by Ben Cisneros

On Saturday 4th of July, it was the camp-sail event at the sailing club. It was great fun and was enjoyed by all present. It kicked off at around 2pm and people could just go out for a leisurely (but windy) sail with friends and family. After that there was a treasure hunt that was mainly done in kayaks by the kids. It was brilliant yet hard work. After that kids played in the water until the light began to fade and the barbeque got going. The food was soon ready and everyone tucked in. However, halfway through the meal we got an unexpected guest...The mysterious monster of Reading Sailing Club!!! At first all you could see was ripples but then it started jumping and flapping around (it must have been attracted to the smell of the delicious food). After the meal some of the children went out for an evening cruise on the rescue boat before returning to the warm campfire. We sat around that until midnight telling story's, jokes and there was even a talent show!!! It was a peaceful and calm night although everyone was up by 8...Fifteen minutes later; people were out in canoes getting wet. Not long after, breakfast was ready: bacon butties and tea. None of this could have happened, however, if it was not for Simon Bray. So on behalf of everyone at the event - THANKYOU...
