This was the Club website from 11th of June 1997 to 16:00 12th of April 2013. Although parts (weekly report, photos & the weekly sailing report) will be updated weekly for the time being, it is primarily an archive site.
Welcome to the old Bembridge Sailing Club Web site; it was kept very simple and was intended to provide members with a useful source of up to date information. If you can't see a tiled menu then please check that your browser accepts javascript.
2014 Club Sailing & Social Programme - although you will need to visit the new Club website for updates or amendments if you click here you can view/download the Year Book programme.
On-Line Social Events Bookings - no longer available (16 Sep) so please phone or e-mail the office to make any bookings.
WightLink Tickets - to book on-line at the Club discounted price (car & driver £29.50 each way) you will need to go through the Wightlink link that you will find in the "Links" menu above NB: the discounted price is only available when there is "concession" space available. You WILL be required to show proof of membership when they collect your tickets; your Club Account card is sufficient.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Heather Sloley died peacefully at home on Monday 9th February. She was 94 and was a Life Member. There will be a Thanksgiving Service at 3.30pm on Friday 27th February at Holy Trinity, Bembridge. Family flowers only. Donations if desired to PDSA through Weaver Bros Ltd, Lane End, Bembridge (01983 872598).
And afterwards at BSC.
The family will be having a private funeral. Details of a Memorial service will be advised when they become available.
A reasonable number for Friday evening supper (NB: main course comes with a free glass of wine!); otherwise pretty quiet except for when the Illusionists came in after racing! Congratulations to Mark Downer who won the Match Racing trophy; after a 2 year break it was great to see a full house of 16 sailors competing on Saturday. Sunday's weather was horrible but yet again the Illusion's demonstrated their ability to race in very marginal conditions.
