Plans for 2025
Early days yet, but plans for the coming year include Theory Nights, so you can refresh your Level 2 skills, a trip to the RNLI in Poole – a really interesting tour of this amazing facility – and a fundraiser which will be an Auction of Skills similar to the one which was so successful a few years ago. More info on all these will follow ASAP. Plus of course lots of sailing and our Annual Regatta.
GREAT NEWS – our Margaret has been conferred by the RYA with an Inspirational Instructor Award. They have invited her to the RYA Awards Presentation & Reception at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show, Farnborough in February. Ricky was the one who put Margaret’s name forward, so a huge THANK YOU to him for doing that, and massive CONGRATULATIONS to Margaret for an award she so well deserves. Ricky will be organising a shuttle to the Dinghy Show for all those who want to go along and support her.
MORE GREAT NEWS – Hengistbury Head Outdoors (HHO) has been awarded a grant of £688,920 to help renovate the Hengistbury Head Outdoor Centre, and it is hoped the lease agreement with BCP will be completed in the coming weeks to ratify this. More info on the HHO website, but this is a truly amazing step to securing a future for our Centre.

You may have noticed we’ve moved the start times forward by half an hour – this is so we can get the boats rigged and launched to be on the water ASAP and give us a good long sailing session . If you’ve finished rigging your boat, in true HHSC tradition move onto another sailor and help them rig.
NEW SUBS EFFECTIVE 1ST DECEMBER 2024
It was agreed at the AGM that our Subs for the year beginning 1 December will be increased to £40.00 per member, except for Juniors and non-sailors which will stay at £25.00. The good news is that the sailing fee will be kept at £10.00 per sailor per session.
