Dinghy Meeting

Due to other events, we were unable to hold the Dinghy meeting at the normal time before the compound reorganisation, this year. As such, we will be holding the Dinghy meeting at 7:00pm on Friday 17th November. Please note that this is immediately before the Pie and Vinyl night so hopefully many of you may be on your way to the club anyway!

We will discuss the main highlights from this year, the areas where we have learnt from and will be talking about some of the new elements that we plan to bring in to next year’s calendar. Look out for kayak expeditions, more Barts Bash style racing, friendly Friday ‘intro to racing’ sessions and perhaps some interclub pirate themed racing! Come to the meeting to find out what on earth we are thinking of!!!
