Those of you who came to an evening meeting last autumn will know that a number of clubs have successfully developed initiatives similar to our\u00a0Friday\u00a0Nights for both adults and children with some success. The RYA have placed these sorts of activity into the context of a sailing \u201cParticipation Pathway\u201d and called them \u201cSkills Clinics\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5;\">The\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5;\">\u201cGo Sailing\u201d<\/b><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5;\">\u00a0group of sessions will be something like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sheeting in and out.

Although Mike will do many of the sessions he won\u2019t be around all the time and some will be taken by other instructors or experienced members. And we may do two groups on Sundays if numbers demand it and we have instructor availability. Mike will also need some rescue help and will be asking any regular participants to occasionally assist with that. There will not be a pre season instructor \/ rescue rota for Sundays; there will be an \u201cad hoc\u201d element. ( We cannot expect the\u00a0Sunday\u00a0rescue crew to do a 9 to 5 day : they will cover afternoon racing.) with Mike checking the forecast on a Thursday to check &amp; advise with an email\/facebook update \u201cthis is what it looks like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: small; line-height: 1.5;\">So dig out your gear!
