The Reading Sailing Club are aware of an incident that occurred yesterday resulting in a fatality in the area of the Sailing Club Lake. We have no further details at this time other than those reported in the press. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this very difficult time.
The committee have been in contact with the police who have confirmed they see no reason why club activities cannot continue as normal. We will inform members at the earliest opportunity of any changes to this position.
Regards Alistair Johnson [Reading Sailing Club Commodore]
Oppie Adventures
Putting many of the experienced adult sailors to shame, 2 of our intrepid Oppi sailors – Rhys and Chole entered their first open meeting at Maidenhead SC on 3rd March.
To see how they got on, take a look at the Y&Y report http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/news/182644/Optimists-at-Maidenhead
The sunday sailors had better watch out as with experience being gained at open meetings, they will soon be battling for the top positions.
Open Day Saturday 9 May
Why not pop along, say hello, take a look at the club or even try sailing. The club is open to everyone on Saturday with a warm welcome of coffee and pastries.
Club members are welcome to come along and go for a sail with Pink Day in the morning and Pirates in the afternoon.
Committee members and the training team will be on hand to answer questions about the club and give sailing tips.
With great weather forecast why not bring a picnic, sit on the balcony and lawns and enjoy watching the activity.
