The sun may not have been shining but the rain held off and with a light
breeze, conditions for most of the day were perfect for introducing
members of the public to the sport of sailing.

A steady stream started to arrive from when the gates opened at 11am and by the end of the day
over a hundred and fifty visitors had been recorded.
There was a considerable amount of interest in all sections of the club
with the Angling Section signing up a new member within the first 10
minutes of the gates opening, the Sailing Section also signed two new
members on the day and gave out many more membership forms and
information on courses.
There was a constant stream of people wanting to go out sailing and
volunteers were kept busy both on the shore and afloat. The echo trips
also proved popular this year and the addition of some fishing lines off
the back of the boat allowed a more practical demonstration when in
total five fish were caught throughout the day.
The power boaters reported a considerable amount of interest in their
junior training package and the skiers provided a display of their
skills on the water.
A big thank you to everyone who worked so hard both in the preparation
on the Saturday and on the day to make it a success
