Jack Frodsham
Tue 6th Dec

On Wednesday 7th December we had the very sad news of a long serving member's passing. Jack came out of hospital on the previous Friday feeling better and looking forward to a long awaited recovery. After enjoying an extended weekend he went to sleep on Tuesday night but failed to wake Wednesday morning.

The funeral will be held at Blacon crematorium at 11:30 on Tuesday 20th December. Everyone is invited afterwards to the Whitby Sports and Social Club (formerly the Shell Club). Jack's family have requested that there are no flowers. Donations in lieu of flowers will be passed to the RNLI and The British Heart Foundation.

Windsurfing

Shotwick Lake Sailing is pleased to announce that it has obtained recognition from the Royal and Welsh Yachting Associations to teach Windsurfing.

The Club has always had a core of windsurfing members, but with the arrival at the Club of Windsurfing Senior Instructor Michael Plane has been able to satisfy the requirements for registration for instruction.

New equipment has now been purchased and the club's first RYA and WYA recognised Start Windsurfing course, for adults, is running over the two Saturdays 1st and 8th October.

Places are limited, and good value at £65 including logbooks and certification.  If you are interested in a place on the course then please call Michael in 07719 923193 or e-mail windsurfing@shotwicksailing.org.

Another exciting development is the Club's registration for the T15 Windsurfing initiative.  This provides regular coaching for young people, aged between 8 and 15, the opportunity to sail with others of the same age group, and the option to take part in regional competitions with other local clubs.  The Club is commencing T15 activities around Easter 2012, but please contact us now to register your interest, as, again, numbers will be limited.

ASDA Athletes

Tom Williams (Laser 4.7) and Tom Piggott (Laser Radial) from Shotwick Sailing Club have been sponsored by Asda this year and went to Wembley Stadium to collect their sponsorships.

Tom Williams is in the GB 4.7 Laser squad and the Welsh National Laser Squad and Tom Piggot is in Welsh National Laser  squad.  The funding is to assist with the costs involved in traveling to the events.


Whilst at Wembley they took part in a range of activities and workshops from Asda and also the swimmer Mark Foster came along to chat to the athletes about managing their training versus their school work and how to manage the highs and lows of their sporting achievements.

The Asda Athletes Programme is now in its fourth year of providing talented young British sportsmen/women with a sporting chance. Asda support athletes through their partnership with Sports Aid and they select one athlete, from across all sporting disciplines, per store (375 stores in total) so this is a fantastic achievement for both Tom's.
