Training sessions for club members are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7.00pm in one of the upstairs rooms at the Belmont 16 ft Sailing Club. These sessions are free for club members, but those attending are asked to make a donation towards the purchase of club equipment.
It is a good idea to work through the relevant tutorial (check the link on the left of this page) before coming to the training session so that you can ask questoins about things that are puzzling you.
On most training nights there will be additional materials that you can download to a laptop or place on a USB drive for use at home.
Informal discussion sessoins are held 4-6pm on the afternoon of our competition nights (3rd Wednesday of the month - starting in February).
