Hi all…

Bank Holiday BBQ – Monday 3rd May

From 4o’clock in the afternoon we will be having a BBQ at Nikki Ellis and Jenni Burt’s house at 4 Westfield Drive (off Radmoor Road)…. in true sailing club style there is a boat on their drive so look out for that!! (by the way 4o’clock is not a set time, please come when you are free throughout the afternoon)

Everyone in the club is welcome however if you are coming then please could you bring your own food to cook on the BBQ and whatever you are drinking! If you have a picnic blanket that would be great too!

If it rains then we will have to resort to cooking meat in the oven and eating inside!

Our next HEY EWE social will be on Wednesday 5th May….. Beach Party themed!! Meet in JC’s at 9.30pm and we will move onto Fusion. Special guest for … Continue Reading

Hi everyone,

Quick email to all those who came sailing today. Tim Beal (aka DI Beal) has lost his keys and wallet whilst at Burton today or on the journey, please could everyone just have a check of their bags in case you have accidentally picked them up and let Tim know if you have them.

Tim’s number is 07969806405

Many thanks

Hope to see you all at Hey Ewe soon!

Hi all….

Firstly I hope everyone had a relaxing Easter. Now the weather is getting warmer we are hoping to get plenty of people down for some sailing on Wednesday. It will be the same plan as usual with a little twist…in the summer months Burton Sailing Club holds and evening racing series on a Wednesday night which some people are keen to take part in. So what I am now asking is two questions. Please reply if you would like to come for a regular wednesday afternoon session and also if you would like to stay for evening racing please let me know aswell..

We shall meet at 1pm at the swimming pool as ever…please bring £2 for drivers. If you choose to come evening racing you probably won’t be back until around 8″30 to 9pm…any questions please ask…

If anyone is interested in attending this event you can contact mike the organiser at the_hamptons@tiscali.co.uk and cc me at cvdp4@lboro.ac.uk

Activate your Laser

This is an RYA initiative that Burton Sailing Club are taking advantage of.

Please join in and have some fun

In brief the “RYA” together with “Laser Performance” want to encourage more people to get active with their sailing. I’m not sure exactly why the emphasis is on lasers but it is a known fact that a large number of lasers are only infrequently sailed.  Sometimes this is because the laser is a second boat, … Continue Reading
