Dell Quay Sailing Club
Club of the Year 2019
Dear Members and Friends of Dell Quay Sailing Club
You may have seen the news in Yachts and Yachting that we have made it through as the RYA South Region Finalist for the Club of the Year 2019. We are also one of 5 clubs who have also been recognised for a particular achievement and we were noted for our "Innovation and Forward Thinking".
All 11 finalists receive an award at the Dinghy Show on the 2nd March but now we are part of the public vote which has opened and closes in January. This is tough for a small club as it does literally depend on the number of people you can get to vote for DQSC. Please will you help us to succeed in becoming Club of the Year by getting your friends and family to vote and of course voting yourself!
You can vote by visiting the RYA website. We hope that through your support we will get the ultimate recognition.
With Best Wishes
Sue

The club wishes to encourage paddle boarders & Kayakers to join as members, and be a part of this active and sociable sailing club.
