There is a Typo on this paperwork. It states the year as 2013. It should read 2012. Many apologies.
It would be appreciated if you can use BACS Transfer in favour of cheques. It cuts down the work(Cheques are still OK)
Llangorse Sailing Club
was founded in 1953 on the north-west shore of the picturesque lake from which it takes its name. Nestling in the heart of rural Wales, sandwiched between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains and in easy striking distance of Cardiff, Abergavenny, Bristol and Hereford, Llangorse is, arguably, one of the most beautiful places to sail in Britain today.
The aim of the club is to encourage sailing as a sport for all age groups. Club members can sail on the lake, other than in the designated "no go" areas as shown on the map in the Club house, at all times except during January. The membership ranges from those who find enjoyment just sailing around the lake through to the racing enthusiasts. By special arrangement, schools and other similar organisations can apply for membership.
Classes of boats that the Club wishes to encourage include Flying Fifteens, the current fleet stands at over 20, Fireballs, Tasars, Lasers, Enterprises, Mirrors, Modern asymmetricals and of course Optimists for the youngsters.
Club byelaws prohibit boats greater than 21'6'' long, or will not go into an 8' berth, or weigh more than 400kg.
Changing rooms are available throughout the sailing season, which runs from March to November. The Clubhouse is open on club days (Sundays and Bank Hoildays).
On special events hot food is available. On other days tea coffee and confectionery is available in the galley via an honesty box payment.
ACTIVITIES
Club racing takes place throughout the Sailing Season mainly on Sundays when there are 3 races. There are 3 main series - Spring, Summer & Autumn.
During the season there are Trophy Races usually over a 2 day Bank Holiday.
TRAINING
As an RYA Registered Training Centre, the club has always been keen to encourage members to learn to sail and to improve their skills.To achieve that objective, the club runs a series of Training Courses during the season. The courses go from a first introduction to sailing, right through to practice racing sessions.
