A windy day at Brogborough

Brogborough is one of the few large lakes in the country (220 acres) that is totally dedicated to windsurfing.

No other craft are allowed on the lake with the exception of the rescue boat, and a few kayaks and SUPs on windless days.

The club has a thriving membership and always has vacancies for anyone who wants to join.

Try windsurfing for free during National Windsurfing Week




Bank Holiday weekend May 1st/2nd/3rd plus May 8th/9th

Sees the return of the very popular

COME AND TRY WINSURFING FOR FREE WEEKENDS

·         It’s a chance to try the sport without costing anything.

·         Everything is provided free of charge. Wet suits and buoyancy aids, sail and board.

·         The only restriction we have is that you must be fit and confident in the water.

·         RYA instructors will show you the basic elements on a land simulator, before getting you on to the water.

Almost everyone will be up and sailing by the end of the session and should you want to take the sport further there will be special offers on the day for RYA Start Windsurfing Lessons which consist of eight hours split into two four hourly sessions and virtually guarantees the mastering of the basic elements of the sport.

This has always been a popular event and I can’t emphasise enough the necessity of signing up early.

The only age restriction is no children under 9 years old, as they would not be strong enough to lift the sail, otherwise anyone from nine to ninety can have a go.

Sessions will be split into hourly slots

11am to 12pm

1pm to 2pm

3pm to 4pm

With a maximum of ten people in each session (get a group of friends together and have a go)

Please look at the grid below and let me know which slot you would like.

Windsurfing for Cancer Research

.

SUNRISE SUNSET

It was one of those moments when rashness was my downfall. In a sudden unexplained moment of total madness I agreed to rise from my bed at an hour any decent human being would be fast asleep and to partake in the Sunrise/Sunset windsurfing event in aid of Cancer research on Sunday May 2nd

A few of us mad fools intend to rush about in the dark and with only the dawn chorus to guide us to Brogborough’s shore where we will set forth on an epic journey as the sun rises behind the clubhouse roof(this of course is the optimistic view, it may well be pissing down and blowing a gale)

Any of you who feel you are brave enough to join us can do so by logging in and signing up to the address below

http://www.windsurfing4cancerresearch.org/index.php

Alternatively if your bed refuse to let you part company from it, you can always sponsor me

as I set forth on my mission (it is a far far better thing I do now than I have ever done etc)

ABOUT SUNRISE/SUNSET

A charity formed by windsurfers to raise cancer awareness and so promote early diagnosis and healthy lifestyles, to reduce the incidence of the disease. And through specific projects raise funds for cancer research, education and support (see Objectives in "about W4CR").

W4CR aims to increase survival rates by educating the public (through the windsurfing fraternity), with an improved understanding of cancer.

Sunrise Sunset be part of it!
