Notts County Sailing Club held its annual Open Day as part of the RYA's Push the Boat Out fortnight, aimed at encouraging people to try sailing.
The day was a great success with around a hundred signing up and having a go sailing in cobbles, on windsurfers and in the club Laser Stratos, along with trips on the front of a Tandem windsurfer. There were plenty of smiling faces, in spite of it being cool and quite windy. We are confident we will fill our two upcoming RYA course.
We co-incided our annual fundraising for Sail4Cancer where we have Cake by the Lake, encouraging members to bring cakes and of course then buy them, with proceeds to charity, asking visitors to join in meant we raised about £500 for the charity.
