Hi everyone,

A huge thank you to everyone who came down to the club this weekend to help with painting and general maintenance of the club. We had a fantastic turn out and hopefully you will all see the difference when you next visit!

Play Lincs Lotto and support our club! Tickets for the lottery cost just £1 a week. Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win a prize each week, with a top prize of £25,000! That’s a better chance of winning than the National Lottery or the Health Lottery.

"Our dinghy sailors experienced sunshine and very light winds today at NL&HSC but this didn't deter the 9 boats racing.For the second week running our younger members did very well, Evie won the first race and Russ the second.

A fantastic, but cold evening last night showed the return of our junior T15 windsurf training. It was good to see the kids out on the water, having fun and practicing their skills.

NL&HSC saw thirteen dinghies on the water today in bracing easterly winds, eleven of the dinghies were racing. A very welcome sight after months of lockdown.

I wanted to update you on the current situation and the changes to our COVID-19 policy that we have made in response to the latest Government announcement and RYA guidelines.

Our next junior meeting will be held on April 10th at 6pm.

This years start of season instructors meeting will be held on Saturday 27th March at 10:00; due to the current restrictions the meeting will take place via zoom however I very much hope that this year we will be able to have a full and unrestricted sailing season.

New date organised for the working party to tie in line with the easing of the Covid restrictions. Please do come if you can do, everyone welcome.

All junior members welcome to join Will and Spence for their first Zoom meeting on 27th February at 6pm! Have your say and help develop the club for our juniors.

We would like a junior representative from sailing and one from windsurfing to take forward ideas from our junior members to our general committee once a month. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Under current restrictions, the water is closed and no sailing or windsurfing can take place. However we wanted to make you all aware that the mains water supply has also been shut off due to a possible water leak, we are waiting for assessment on this

The committee have met tonight and like most people this evening, we have discussed the impact of the PM's announcement.We have had to make the decision to once again close the water from midnight tonight in line with the national lockdown. Please keep safe and well everyone and we will provide more updates as and when we can do.

If you go down to the club, you will see a new addition to the yard! Lucy has been given a face lift and is now a bit of a children's play area. Please feel free to use her, we will be adding some sand in the Spring too. Children must be under supervision whilst at the club and take care in case she is slippy.
