Sunday 10th May – Dinghy Sail to Lopwell – nothing like a challenge!
Sunday 10 May, HW 1213, 4.1m
There is a dinghy cruise from Weir Quay, down the Tamar and then up the Tavy to Lopwell Dam on Sunday 10 May. Weather forecast – cloudy,15oC (cool) and North Easterly F4 with stronger gusts.
Meet in the dinghy park at 0915 for a 1000 start. Bring a packed lunch, water and a hat. It will be quite cool and there may be some showers. Sunglasses are advised. Should be ashore and packed away by 1500.
The full range of club boats (including Picos and Toppers) will be available to members – the wind up the Tavy is usually very variable – paddling a Topper is as easy as paddling anything else.
Please use this consent form for those unaccompanied sailors aged 11 to 17 inclusive. Persons younger than 11 can only attend this event if accompanied by an adult on the water.
Please bring signed paper copy of the form on Sunday or leave it with me on Friday.
No Form No go.
Friday 15th May – Club’s 60th Birthday – Pirate themed night – maybe a “walk the plank” off the side of a dinghy! There is to be a BBQ if the weather is good. All club members invited: bring a cake and something to cook on the BBQ.
This year is WQSC’s 60th anniversary!
The club was founded in 1966 on 15th May, which falls on a Friday this year, so we thought there was no better way to celebrate than with a pirate-themed birthday party!
Start time on Friday 15th May = 5:30pm
Grab your best swashbuckling outfit but be prepared at get wet as you embark on a series of challenges to find the treasure before digging into some birthday cake.
For dinghy sailors:
It is pirate fancy dress but please be aware if you are sailing it will be getting wet so wear your pirate get up over your wetsuits.
For other club members:
Come along to watch the pirate fun, bring a drink if you like and if the weather is kind, we might fire up the BBQ – check your emails and the club WhatsApp channel for last minute updates!
For everyone:
In true WQSC fashion please could you either bring along a cake or some party food for everyone to share after sailing.
We hope to see lots of you there!! There will be many more 60th birthday celebrations throughout the year if you can’t make this one.
