S
unday 19th May this year is the date to add in
to your diary for the RYA’s Push the Boat out
day.
For those who do not know too much about this
scheme, it was set up a couple of years ago by the RYA
as a Nationwide event to encourage people to take to
the water in some form of activity, being Sailing,
Windsurfing, Canoeing etc. as part of a series of taster
days during May.

RSC has run these events the past few years with last
year some 60 new members joining the Club as a result
of visiting the Club on our Open Day.
This year the event is Sunday 19th May. It would be
great to see as many people on the lake as we can and
have as many members on hand to talk with visitors
and to assist in some way.

If you are free for any part of Sunday (and or also
Saturday 18th to help the club get ready), please click

Any time you can spend in any way before or after the
