Welcome to the Bembridge Sailing Club Web site; it has been kept very simple and is intended to provide members with a useful source of up to date information. If you can't see a tiled menu then please check that your browser accepts javascript.
NEW! - double click on the calendar day below to find out what is going on (the full programme will be input soon!). If you do not see the calendar try updating your Adobe Flash (free) files available from Adobe Flash
Members Area & On-Line Bookings
To access the Members area at the bottom of the page, use the shortened christian name of the Club Secretary (lower case) as the User Name, and the year the Club was founded as the Password. This area includes membership application forms, subscription details and sections of the 2010 Year Book (including the programme but not the address section).
Many thanks to those of you who are using the on-line booking system (access via the "Social" menu above) for meals/Club events & WightLink tickets. If you click on the link you will get a simple form; when you "submit" it you will then get a confirmation link from Bravenet (ignore the adverts!) - just click "confirm" at the bottom of the page and it will end up at the office.
For those who prefer to use Red Funnel (Southampton - Cowes or Cowes - Southampton), there is a 10% discount if you access the Red Funnel on-line booking system through the "Red Funnel" link you will find under the "Links" menu above. So long as you use the BSC website link, the 10% reduction is automatically applied to the fares (each way) you will be offered.
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Henry Bowring died unexpectedly in St Mary's Hospital yesterday (Sunday 22nd August) after suffering a fall earlier in the day. He was 85 and had been a member since 1963.
There will be a Thanksgiving Service at Holy Trinity, Bembridge at 3.00pm on Friday 3rd September 2010.
Typical August weather for much of the week which curtailed the "shrimps" a bit but as always everyone made the best of it and it was voted another very successful week. A big well done to the new Queen shrimps, Sophie, Zoe & Hayley.
The BODA & Redwing dinners on Friday & Saturday night were well supported, and Sunday lunch was almost a full house.
Lots of good racing over the weekend despite the strong winds on Sunday which most sensibly decided were just too strong to enjoy.
