Tweed Valley Sailing Club events, including Junior Sailing events, are organised and run voluntarily by Club members.
To participate in any TVSC Juniors event you must Register (under Events) on the Club Website and pay any fees (see Bank details under Membership on website). Participants must be:
* A current TVSC Junior member + ‘Package’ (which covers all TVSC Junior sailing costs for $100 the current season), or be

* A current (adult) Club Member and pay the $5 Fee plus any boat hire fee if skippering a Club boat, or
* The holder of a TVSC Sail Pass – which enables non-members the opportunity to sail with the Club, on five occasions before joining the Club. Sail Pass holders must sign TVSC waiver sheet and pay the appropriate fees.
On the day, all participants must have Registered and Sign on and off on the sheet provided and state which of the above four categories they fall – eg JMP, JM, CM or SP.
Any damage should be noted on the Sign ON/OFF sheet when signing OFF.
Any fees collected go towards Rescue boat fuel, Repairs and maintenance costs, etc.
All volunteers should be Club members and have current Working With Children certificates (free for voluntary work).
All volunteers driving a Rescue Boat must also have current Boat Driving License.
Here’s a great article on what your daughter learns when she learns to sail.
- CLUB BOATS – X3’s, Manly Juniors, Pacers, and you’re welcome to bring your own boat.
- LOCATION – Fingal Head Main Boat Ramp. There are toilets and a nice view of the river.
- ALL Welcome – But bookings are always required. New juniors parents please complete attached consent form (1 per child)
- Ages 7 to 17.
1st timers – Under 18’s complete attached consent form.
Adult non members are unable to sail during Junior events to ensure the safety of the Juniors remains focused.

Hi John
Thank you so much for giving Austin so much knowledge about sailing. He absolutely loved his 3 days and is super keen to keep going ahead. My husband and I would be happy to help out on the 9th. We look forward to seeing you and would like to also thank you to all the team who helped the children.

Hi John,
Thanks again for all your efforts over the three days last week. It was by far the best holiday activity Travis has ever attended and he is definitely looking forward to the junior sailing at the club! I will of course be available to help out .
Looking forward to seeing you at junior sailing.
Kind regards
Ashlie
