delighted to be taking part in the RYA Push the Boat Out, we are inviting the
local community to come down to the club, have a go at sailing, see what the
club has to offer and get involved, who knows if you visit you might just get
hooked! “

Spelthorne, on the wrong side of the river, so please be aware of that.”
