Bug Week Party Time! (Saturday 3rd August)
The bar will be open, and everyone will be asked to bring a plate so we can all kick back and celebrate the children's successes.
Pirate Day
Back by popular demand this year we will be bringing back 'Pirate Day'. This will be a fun-filled day when the children will be encouraged to bring their pirate accessories, only authentic-looking pirates can make their instructors walk the plank and we will have lots of themed games, sail along the coast to claim new territory and hunt for treasure

What you will need to bring
Recommended kit list:
Your child needs to bring their kit with them every day as we do not hold any spare equipment, they will not be able to go out on the water if they do not have the right equipment.
Depending on the conditions, it is possible that on occasion we may go out in the morning, and then eat lunch in our sailing kit before going out again in the afternoon.
Even if it is a warm day children can get cold so please ensure that they have everything they need. Children must be supervised in the changing room and please do not leave any valuables unattended.
