If you’re available this Wednesday Morning 0830 – 1230. Sailability on Tweed is short of volunteers. This is an enjoyable experience of “Armchair Sailing”, taking young and older disabled people for a sail and watch the smiles on their faces! Several of our club members already enjoy this experience on Terranora Creek each Wednesday. Rigging starts 8.30 at the container on Dry Dock Road, just west of the M1 bridge. Please phone John Stead on 0400322499 if you can help.
