Barnt Green Sailing Club
-Junior Training 2008
3 Day Training Courses:
Easter -
Early Summer - August Bank Holiday
The Club is a recognised
RYA Training Centre and RYA Volvo Champion Club. Our training is based on the
RYA Youth Sailing Scheme. We provide courses for children aged 6 to 16 years,
covering complete beginners to very experienced sailors. We have a considerable
number of dinghies available for people to borrow, alternatively more
experienced sailors are encouraged to bring their own boats, which must be
insured.
Our main aim is to have
fun safely. All participants MUST be able to swim and MUST wear a suitable
buoyancy aid on or near the water (we can supply some if you do not have one
but please tell us in advance). If there
is severe weather we reserve the right to cancel, although this is very
unlikely. Depending on the weather wet suits are recommended, however, many
changes of clothes, a waterproof top/ trousers, and trainers that can get wet,
are fine. We have a For Sale table for buying and selling used sailing gear
so you can replace gear that is too small.
The training is open to
children of club members, and also to non-club members. The cost per child is
£45 for the three days (plus £15 for non-members - deductible from membership
if you subsequently join). We ask that someone with parental responsibility is
at the club all the time that children are on the course. This is to ensure that all children are happy,
fed and warm throughout the day and that we fulfil our child protection
responsibilities. The parents also learn what sailing is all about and what
some of the strange words mean.
The success of this event
is totally reliant on the generous support of the club. Course numbers have to
be limited by the number of qualified instructors who are able to volunteer so
it is advisable to book early.
If you are able to join in the fun,
either as a helper or as a participant, please complete the form and return to
me, preferably at least 6 weeks before the event. Please feel free to contact
me, or look at the website, if you require any further information or for late
booking place availability. Please use a separate form for each course
