Christmas Fair Our first WKSC Christmas Fair was a great success. We had lots of people through the doors to enjoy the mulled wine, tea and cakes, while shopping for a few fantastic gifts. A huge thanks to all the people who helped make the event a success. From running the stalls, selling their art and craft to baking cakes and making candy floss we can't thank you enough!     House Committee Annual Subscriptions This is a polite reminder to members who do not pay their subs by direct debit and who have not paid their annual subs. The new subscription year started on 1st October 2024. We depend on the subs from members to keep the lights on in the boatshed and in the club house. If you have not paid your subscription for the year, please do so as soon as possible. You can pay via bank transfer or by phoning Sue in the office and paying by card. If you wish to change to paying by direct debit, please email me on honregistrar@wksc.org.uk and I will send you a link. Its very easy to set up. You can pay the annual amount or by monthly instalments at no extra cost. To those who have already paid, and to those who pay by direct debit. Thank You!

Whilst the newer recruits tackle the challenge of rig and boat tuning, there is plenty of advice and encouragement from seasoned RC skippers. Interest in the Class continues to grow with a rumoured 2 more boats due for 2025 and hopefully a Spring Series also next year. Weather permitting it is intended to sail throughout the Winter so no doubt thermals, ski-suits and wooly hats will be 'rig of the day' For a modest investment the DF95 one-design boats are ideal as a first foray into the world of RC yachting and great fun to sail. The dedicated Facebook page offers a forum for advice and troubleshooting, plus a marketplace for 2nd hand boats.   For more information contact : John Carlin 07927 929054 Phil Shepherd 07802225214 |
