Thursday Novice Racing update

10 May 2011 8:42 PM | Anonymous

Novice Racing will be held on the Thursdays when there is already club racing taking place and will consist of a Novice Start which may be around a separate novice course or around a shortened version of the full course for the evening. There will be no tuition. Booking will now be open 14 days before the event. Starting time will be 19:30 on the water.

Either use your own boat, or club boats are for hire for £3 per person per session.

The reason for booking is to ensure that sufficient rescue cover is provided and the sessions remain safe.

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved
