Social Events at West Oxfordshire Sailing Club
In addition to the sailing programme West Oxfordshire Sailing Club organises a wide variety of social events. Most of these events are open to members and their invited friends who may be non-members.
The social secretary is Nick Speller who joined the committee in December 2018.
We are always looking for new ideas and volunteers to help run events. Most of the events are run by members willing to help and give their time to ensure the events are fun for all who attend. Volunteering to help is a great way of getting to know new people and feeling much more part of the club.
Below is a list of events we are looking to offer in 2019. Please look at the social calendar and upcoming events list for fuller details.
- - WOSC FUN Day 27th May
Your sailing club needs you… on Monday 27th May!
We are planning a family fun day on Monday 27th May (Bank Holiday Monday) with the sole purpose of giving an entertaining day to our members, their families and friends. We would like the day to feature the following, BUT need your help to achieve this:
-
Wacky races - come prepared to run around and get wet (for all ages!)
-
Musical entertainment - are any of you budding rock stars who are craving an audience? We can’t pay you, but we can send the hat around!
-
Food - including ice cream, BBQ or Hog Roast and candy-floss
-
Drinks of all kinds available from the bar
-
Stalls featuring local crafts - we hope to have a limited number of stalls inside the club house and outside under gazebos. For this year we are not charging for these, but will request a donation to the club dependant on how successful the event is for you. If you are interested in running a stall please contact Nick as below.
-
Sailing rides with experienced helms in the 3 wayfarers
