MAKING WEDNESDAYS WONDERFUL

Role at NHEBSC: SOCIAL SECRETARY, Wednesday Sailing & Club Merchandise

Special Power: Getting things done with a big smile including making our marker buoy covers and Wednesdays wonderful

Sailing Style: Social (of course)

I’ve been helping out at Wednesday evening sailing sessions for last 4 years and became part of the management committee in 2024. It’s been great to get more involved, support the club, and help everything run smoothly for both new and regular sailors. When you’re down at the club, feel free to come and say hi or get stuck in too – there’s always something to do, and it’s a great way to be part of the community.
Keep an eye on the club calendar for social BBQs, camp out and club fun day.

I’ve also been working on our club merchandise. Using our original club logo, I have designed and expanded our range and it’s been great to see members with our merchandise. Our range includes the usual wearable favourites like hoodies, t-shirts, and beanies. In addition, we’ve designed a club rugby shirt with club coordinates and semaphore flags and we’ve added a few items by Regatta. We also have branded, dry bags, or even custom water bottles. If you have ideas or want something specific, let me know – we want the merch to reflect what members actually want to wear and use!
