Hi everyone,

Another week has raced by and last weekend was a slightly quieter one at HSC, with a work party on Saturday when lots of work was carried out across the river putting chicken wire on the walkways, and then Club racing on the river on Sunday.

You can read the full report on Club racing here https://horning-sailing.club/news/club-racing-19th-september-2021/ – it was somewhat eventful as we were also joined by several fire crews, the Hemsby Inshore Rescue team and several more rescue boats who responded to a report of a boat fire upriver – thankfully there appeared to be no lasting harm done.

 

COVID-19 Update

We are aware that there have been a number of COVID-19 outbreaks in the local area, particularly in local schools, and, as such, would like to remind members that if you or any members of your household display symptoms of Covid-19, or test positive for Covid-19, you should not attend the Club. It is also still important to adhere to regular handwashing and hygiene practices to help keep everyone safe. Thank you.

 

Looking ahead to this weekend:

This weekend we have Open Dinghy Weekend - Held on both the River Bure outside the Clubhouse on Saturday afternoon and on Hoveton Little Broad on Sunday, there is racing for Allcomers B and C, which includes Lasers, Splashes, Toppers and Teras (plus other classes of course!) – with trophies on offer too!  There is also class racing for Enterprises and Bitterns.

This is a great opportunity for some late season sailing and we hope that it will be a very enjoyable event.

If you wish to, please also make/bring a cake for after racing on Sunday! Of course you are welcome to come down too if you are not racing.
