Calling all young sailors,
Paxton Lakes sailing club is pleased to invite you to this year’s youth training week which this year returns to the successful 4 day format during the half-term week. This is open to all children of club members. To ensure you get a place please return the form and payment as soon as possible.
The training will comprise four days of instruction and coaching on and off the water with practice races and other exercises, culminating in a day of races for the coveted John Wallis trophy on the final day. It is the ideal way to get into racing so if you have any sailing experience at all and want to move on to the next level this is definitely for you.
You will receive coaching from experienced club racers and instructors so don’t miss out on this opportunity. We look forward to seeing you on the water!
To book you place please send the Youth Training Week booking from to Pat. |
I am sure you have seen in the local press that there will be Diamond Jubilee celebrations at Regatta Meadow, St Neots. Saturday 2ndJune.- The Family Day will have something for everyone including Jubilee races. However there was one in particular that caught my eye for the water and boat enthusiasts amongst the members, as well as those with a competitive streak.
There will be raft races taking place and a thought would be to have one or several PLSC teams and we would be interested to know if this appeal to you, the members. So that we can get an idea of the interest, please email me at

You may have seen in the calendar something about a new members event on Saturday 12th May and wondered what it might be.
Well the plan is to have a enjoyable day at the club. A chance to introduce our newer members to the club, help you with where the club boats are and how the club runs. For those that haven’t been out on the water yet this year this is the perfect opportunity as there will be a rescue boat on the water to help you out if there are any problems. There will be plenty of people around between 12:00 pm and 5:00 pm to help you out in whatever way you need and to make sure we don’t get hungry there will be a BBQ from 12:30 for an hour or so.

Just keep your fingers crossed that the weather is bit nicer than recent days. |
