water. The day will start at 10:00 and run through until 15:00, lunch
is not provided so bring some nibbles but remember the day itself is
free, so if you want to come along please let the centre staff know so
we have a good idea of numbers.

We
are pleased to announce the 2010 training program is now finalized and

comprehensive training schedule ever as well as creating pathways for
both sailing and windsurfing. The pathways will help every sailor from
beginner to club racer progress and improve whilst sailing with like
minded people.
If you need any further help please call the centre staff who will be more than happy to help.
We have many Lasers are Alton Water, yet most of them see little use, which is a shame. However, the RYA and Laser have recognised that this is a common problem in sailing clubs around the country and to try to address this problem, have organised an 'Activate your Laser' initiative.
Nigel Best kindly volunteered to attend an Activate your Laser event at Weymouth and has written a report that you can read here.
We will be holding a special event in support of this nationwide campaign during the spring and would urge all members with Lasers to get involved. We'll keep you posted but please do contact us using the 'feedback' button if you would like to get involved.
