A sailing club is inviting members of the public to get on board with them.
Welland Yacht Club is hosting an open day at its River Bank base, off Cradge Bank on Sunday, May 17.
Anyone can pop along and enjoy a sailing sessions for free in one of the club’s boards.
“It’s just about giving people the opportunity to come down and have a look at what the club has to offer,” said sailor of over 50 years Andy Agar. “Anybody is welcome to come down and, if they want, they can have a go on the club’s boat.
“Hopefully people will come down and enjoy themselves.
“The days are well received and we had a particularly good reaction last year getting a number of new members, quite a few of whom are regularly taking part in our events.”
Welland Yacht Club has been operating for over 60 years, with Andy himself having been a member for over 20 years after moving to the area.
“We’re a predominantly family oriented club,” he said. “Membership for a whole family is around three of or four times cheaper than some other nearby clubs.
“We’re members of the Royal Yachting Association and can deliver qualified training to club members.
“We’re looking forward to seeing people there on the day.”
