Social activities
The Club will be holding a South
African themed evening on the Sunday (details awaited). Whether we take
part in this or organise a meal at a local hostelry will be determined
nearer the time. The club also offers a full complement of meals at
other times of the day.
John Terry, who is a member of
RSC, had kindly agreed to act as event liaison person for the
Association. He will be co-ordinating the social side and collecting the
prize levy.
There are lots of non-sailing activities as well.
Hiking and cycle tracks that follow the shores of the lake are very
popular because of the great views. Bikes can be hired locally. The
famous Barnsdale Gardens are close by, and Rutland Water is renowned for
its wildlife and fishing, too.
So there's something for everyone in the family.
With so much to do there are plenty of reasons to
come along to this perennially popular venue.
