As no doubt you are aware we are still in lockdown, both as a nation and as a club.  But the club has still been operating, anyway in the virtual world.

The Bar opens on a Wednesday evening at 7:00pm via Zoom.  If you have never tried it, try log in on using this link, but don't forget to bring your own drink!

There is even sailing on Thursday and Sunday evenings via the VR app. This can be found HERE. Need to get into contact with Clara ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. )who will give you the appropriate links to get onto the website, and codes needed to link in with the racing, This Virtual world of sailing.  In the meantime look at the results.  It seems no one wants to give  their real name for some reason!.

While we are not able to get on the water we are still tying to operate normally, well almost.

Instead of going to the bar for a drink how about bringing the bar to your home.  Pour yourself your favourite drink, log on via Zoom ( https://zoom.us/j/6089191548?pwd=a1JvQ0V6OHdvSVIzUmE2NU1WVUxKdz09 )and have a chat.  The bar will be open from 7:00pm till 7:40.  May we suggest  that if you have not used Zoom, try a little earlier to get set up and see what it is all about.

Luckily the RYA have released VR Sailing, so now on a Thursday and Sunday evening at 8:00pm, we can have a bit of fun on our virtual lake. to join in email Clara on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to join the WhatsApp group because that is where you will find the weekly codes to take part.  In true MSC fashion we have even set up a series on Sailwave that can be found on the Results page of the website.  It is using the High Point Scoring  (CHIPS) system. so don't be confused about the confusing numbers.
