Sailing Club Spotlight Teesdale Sailing Club

TEESDALE Sailing Club is hoping to encourage more people to take to the water when the new season starts. Recognised by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), the club, based at Grassholme Reservoir, will host a programme of training days in the coming months. The club programme also allows space for cruising and infrequent sailors who do not wish to commit to the scheduled races. At the club's recent annual meeting the existing committee of Robert Johnson, commodore, Chris Barraclough, secretary and treasurer David Fowell was re-elected. The last two weekends in March are designated club work days to prepare for the season’s opening on Sunday, April 7. The first Sail Training Level 1 session will take place over the weekend of April 13 and 14.
