New Members and New Berth Holders Event 2024

To welcome our new members to Haslar Yacht Club and to encourage Haslar Marina's new berth holders to come and see who we are we will be holding a one day rally to Osborne Bay at lunchtime, then some early evening drinks, followed by dinner at The Creek. It's possible the destination at lunchtime will be Stokes Bay depending on the prevailing wind on the day.

This will be the perfect opportunity to meet the Commodore and committee members and find out about the Club, its activities and what membership can do for you.

When you book on this event at this stage, you are just showing your interest in this event.  At a future date, you will be able to reserve a place for the evening meal at 'The Creek' and you will need to pay a £10 deposit per person. You don't need to book if you just want take part in the lunchtime sail or the early evening drinks, but it would help or you can send me an email to let me know if you are coming. We will let you know when we open bookings for the evening meal.

For the first part of the day the idea is to make your own way over to Osborne Bay at about midday, drop anchor and enjoy lunch on your own boat. Haslar Marina hope to support the event by sending their RIB over to Osborne Bay to say hello to those at anchor and a few members of the Club will be putting around in their dinghies doing the same. In your own time you then make your way back to Haslar Marina and tie up in your home berth.

For the second part of the event we will hold a pontoon party (berth location TBC) at 5:30 pm where you can enjoy a few complimentary drinks. This will be an ideal opportunity to meet up and get to know current and new members of Haslar Yacht Club. The RNLI will be in attendance to conduct free safety checks on life jackets and answer any questions you may have. Attendance to the pontoon party is free.

The third part of the event is evening dinner at 7:30pm at the The Creek which we pay for individually. If you can't make the trip over to Osborne Bay at lunchtime you can still come to the evening meal as long as you book on the HYC website. It may be necessary to choose our meals at The Creek; we will sort that detail out at a later date, so keep an eye on this website for updates.

We are keen to encourage boat owners in other local marinas to join the Club so please invite them along. They can register their attendance on the HYC website, they don't need to be a member to do this.

Crew needed and available
