From Our Events Manager I’d like to draw your attention to a very exciting event in May for the young people in Gwynedd. It gives me great pleasure to break the news that in May 2010 ‘Challenge Wales’- Which has circumnavigated the World 2 times, will be berthed at Pwllheli. Our hope at Pwllheli Sailing Club is that we can get enough interest to give local youngsters from School the opportunity to spend time on the boat. The three day course format will be first day of local training and then a 2 day sail to use the student’s new knowledge. Weather permitted we might visit Ireland for the evening. The cost of the Course would be £165 – which includes Bed and Board for the 3 days. Bargain! It will be expected that everyone pulls their weight on the boat – hoisting sails, trimming sails, helming, navigating, cooking and working as a team to sail the boat. We hope a teacher from the school and 2 volunteer from the club will assist the professional Skipper from the boat. If this prospect excites you or if you know of anybody who would gain something from the unforgettable experience then a send a £50 deposit before the end of Feb. If you would like any more information or questions please contact me at the club 01758613343 Gareth Roberts. Events Manager. Pwllheli Sailing Club .
