Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow afternoon for 3 races back to back, followed by tea and cake in the Clubroom. A great way to round off half term!
Launching may be a bit tricky, so please arrive early and be prepared to help lift the dinghies of other competitors off the end of the slipway. Please also be aware of other slipway users and follow any instructions given by the SCSC slipway marshal.
Have a great weekend!
Liberation Day Regatta – Amendment to Race Start Times
Due to tidal considerations races will be held back to back with the start time of the Beagle Open Handicap Race commencing as soon as possible after the finish of the Vega Pursuit Race and the Liberation Race likewise commencing as soon as possible after the finish of the Beagle Open Handicap Race. An amendment to the Sailing Instructions detailing this change has been posted under General Sailing Information on the club website.
Lunch will be served after racing has finished for the day.

SCSC WINTER WALK ☀️
POSTPONED to a later date
St Helier walk on Sunday 24th February 2019. All ages welcome! Pre booking required…
Join us for a town tour with a twist between 1400 and 1700 on Sunday 24th Feb!
Guided by Blue Badge guides we will start in West’s Centre where we will split into two groups for a fascinating tour of St Helier.
Each team will take a different route around the town with their guide.
We’ll then meet up just over an hour later in the Royal Square, for refreshments and for a quick tale of the Battle of Jersey.
The groups would then split up into separate teams, armed with a scavenger hunt type questionnaire, and spend 30 minutes or so hunting down their answers, and taking some fun photographs for bonus points.
At a designated time the teams all gather in the Royal Square for paper marking and presentation of a winners “trophy”.
YOU MUST PRE BOOK YOUR PLACES by clicking here https://webcollect.org.uk/scsc/event/winter-walk-1 . There is a very small fee of £3.50 per head to cover the professional guides fees and any surplus will be donated to our club charities. Non members are welcome to join but if possible please pay for them before the walk as a hosting member.
