Training Looking back to our 3 weeks of training courses this summer, the team should be congratulated for issuing over 90 RYA Certificates between both junior and adult students. These busy courses were delivered by fifteen individual OSC RYA Instructors supported by an equal number of Assistant Instructors. It would seem that the Club is back to full strength with these excellent staffing commitments. Several Orford children were given the opportunity following on from Taster sessions to join RYA courses. A highlight was teaching Orest and Otap both boys from Ukraine. Now looking forward to half term later this month we wish our 7 candidates good luck with their RYA Dinghy Instructors course. We are delighted to welcome Abi Clegg back to run this course. Thanks go to all those who helped and supported the Training Programme. We are lucky that volunteers contribute so much to our ability to remain a very approachable, friendly sailing club. Sheena Barrow, RYA Principal Club Boats The club boats performed well on the sailing courses and it’s the time of the year when we need to put them away in the black shed so if any club members would like to help that would be great! The working party will gather on the morning of Saturday 11th November to wash and put the dinghies in to storage. I hope to see you there!! We also plan to sell the grey decked white hull Wayfarer as the Hartley’s worked well for the adult courses. Hugh Kemp, Club Boats Maintenance
