It’s that time of year when the term has flown by, the club has been busy Saturdays and Sundays non stop since late September. Our sailing school has operated Friday (after school), Saturday and Sunday accommodating our ongoing relationship with Kambala, on Saturdays and welcoming Reddam on Friday afternoons. We are also delighted to have welcomed water front Yoga into the club program with Cara of Inner Space Yoga joining the team.
