News from events in 2011

Raft Painting and Maintenance day, 7th May 2011.

Despite a pessimistic weather forecast we went out anyway. The rain held off and we managed to get two coats of paint on the raft. Thanks to Alison, Chris H, Chris L, Dave, Debbie, Edd,  Graeme, Helen, Hussain, Jane, Oliver, Robin, Sarah, Simon, Sophie and Spencer who all came out and lent a hand to make the raft a better place for all of us this year. Chris and Chris also cut off and replaced two broken cleats. There remains the ladder and a couple of boards to replace and a repair is needed on the barbecue. Hopefully these jobs will get done over the next few weeks. Sarah bought out her (very nice) camera and got some pictures of us at work which I hope to post in the gallery soon.

Photos from the day in 2009 are in the Gallery.

Club Open Day - Saturday the 25th of June 2011.

Update 25 June 2011 07:30 am: As the weather is looking a bit blowy but dry this event is going ahead, I look forward to seeing some of you out on the water between 10:30 and 16:00 today.

This is open to all, non-members are welcome. This day is a great chance to have someone qualified teach you or your friends and family to ski.
It is an opportunity to get all those non-club members who are begging for a go in your boat to come out and get taught to ski.
The publicity Flyer is here containing complete details
A charge of £5.00 per ski, for approx. 15 minutes skiing with instruction.

We will provide wetsuits, equipment, BWS qualified instructors and boats with SBDA qualified drivers.
We will be providing a ferry service to the raft from the Slipway by the Ferry Boat Inn on Hayling Island or the Pontoon for the Hayling ferry on the Portsmouth side. The service will run about every half hour.

The day is run completely by Club members volunteering their time.

Pictures from the Open Day in 2006 are in the Gallery.

Boules / Petanque competion - Saturday the 6th August 2011.

After a successful event last year and in 2009 we have decided to hold this event again.
Low tide on Saturday is at 10:23 am so the sand bank should be exposed from 7:30 am until about 1:30 pm. We will start playing soon after 10:30 and will finish around midday.
This is intended to be a fun event, bring a disposable barbeque if you have one so we can eat over on the sand.

The club has 6 sets of Boule for us to use but if you have your own set that you would prefer to play with please bring these with you..

Photos from this event last year are in the Gallery.

Annual General Meeting - Saturday the 19th of November 2011.

The Club AGM will take place on Saturday 19th November, 2011 at a venue to be decided. The formal part of the meeting will be held between 7:30 and 9:00 pm.

The AGM is open to all members, please come along and support YOUR club. The AGM is a pretty informal event and a great chance for all members to have their say in how their club is run.
