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.
