Is Wicksteed too far?
I'm sure you would get a warm welcome.

You'll be more than welcome at Wickies, we sail together on Thursday afternoons and Sunday Mornings, but you can come into the park and sail anytime. The water is between 18-24inches deep with a concrete bottom and sides so if the worst happens you can get your boat back!


And of course there is the mayhem weekend coming in May so you could meet a lot of Mayhemers in one place, or you could see steamboat Phil get his feet wet again forgetting for the first time in his life that he wasn't wearing his waders!

Dependant on weather usually between 7-12 club members will turn up rain or shine, usually more turn up at the weekend. I sail on Sunday mornings when I'm at home, we usually get about 10-15 regulars.
Hope to see there tomorrow morning.
Regards
