Itchenor Sailing Club is inviting you and your family to enjoy a free sailing
experience on Sunday 17th May 2015 as the club opens its doors for sailing
taster sessions as part of the The Royal Yachting Association’s Push the Boat Out

RYA Push the Boat Out is a nine‐day nationwide event that will see hundreds
of sailing clubs and centres across the country opening their doors for local people
to come and ‘have a go’ at sailing and windsurfing.

Out provides the perfect opportunity for people to discover their local sailing
venue, meet key volunteers and like‐ minded people, have a go at the sport and
find out how much fun it is and how easy it is to get involved.”
