Improver Sessions
Improver sessions run every Tuesday between the first Tuesday in April and the second Tuesday in September. Sessions start at 6pm and finish at 9pm or dusk (whichever is earlier). The safety boat will be on the water and there will be shore volunteers to help with rigging most evenings. All are welcome to come along. Occasionally, on Tuesdays, there are focussed sessions for single handers, double handers, racing or anything else members wish to improve on. To find out more, join the Club Improvers Group on Facebook

Other training
The club organises first aid courses for instructors, those doing safety boat duties and those helping with children’s activities. Any member of the club can attend a first aid course but places are limited and priority is given to those who require it for their duties. There is also food hygiene training for those who serve in the galley.
