Greensforge Sailing Club – Open Day

Greensforge Sailing Club is having it’s annual Open Day on Sunday 13th May 2018 between 11am and 4pm.

The open day is part of the RYA ‘Push the Boat Out’ scheme which has hundreds of events being held across the country. The open day is an opportunity for you to come and see the Club and of course have a go in a sailing dinghy.

For anybody keen to learn how to sail we are holding a RYA training course suitable for a range of abilities and ages on 9th and 10th June so the open day is an ideal opportunity to see what is involved. Club members will be on hand on the day to have a chat about sailing and the Club as well as to take you out for a sail. All safety equipment will be provided but visitors will need to bring a pair of old trainers and a towel.

There will be refreshments available for sale in the clubhouse as well as hot food from the barbecue. Please come along and meet us, have a look around and try sailing. Club membership costs just £95 a year for the whole family and £15 for a junior member; Greensforge is very much a family friendly club. Members can either use their own boats or one of the club boats which range from modern fun trainers to two man dinghies to fast scary racing dinghies.

We sail every Sunday from March to December and Wednesday evenings during the summer months, with competitive racing for all classes of boat up to 4.5 metres including Laser, Streaker, Enterprise, GP14, Toppers and Topaz’s.

The club is situated at Calf Heath Reservoir which is just off Vicarage Lane accessed from the A5 on the Cannock side of Junction 12 of the M6, the post code is ST19 5PU. The entrance will be signposted. We will open the doors at 11:00 and will finish at around 4pm. We look forward to meeting you.
