Watersports club
- 8 May 2012 16:37171093we were wondering at one time whether a new club would emerge at the seasports centre, our fears were groundless as many of dover's finest yoofs had a day on the briny.

All the best

James Salmon - 10 May 2012 06:33171330Your plans need publicising James - do the local schools know all about what you are doing and plan to do ?
If you have anything electronic you can send me, I'll email it round.
Roger - 10 May 2012 09:22171359will pop in soon james.
good luck with it all. - 10 May 2012 15:06171391plenty of activity down there today despite the weather being gloomy with a slight drizzle.
- 14 May 2012 14:12172318Hi Roger
We have a few of the local schools onboard already.
Now our RYA Accreditation and AALA Licence has all been approved and finalised we will be working with the local schools using the RYA Onboard Scheme.
One of the biggest battles we face locally is getting the message across that what we offer is not an elitist sport or linked with any previous publicity from last years operation.
We are aiming at the local community and will welcome everyone with open arms.
I have our leaflet in PDF and a proper schools info pack is in production, if you'd like to email us your contact details.

James Salmon - 15 May 2012 07:50172436Thank James - I've sent you an email and a copy of the updated tourism strategy - if you find the time to read it and send me any comments or suggestions, I will be pleased to receive them.
Roger - 15 May 2012 11:22172492It''s great to see all this activity... can't wait to try it myself.
- 15 May 2012 11:55172499Yes indeed, It's great to see all this activity on the seafront. Well done James and all those involved, a truly great asset for the local community. Good luck with it all
- 20 May 2012 14:18173488seemed to be a race going on early afternoon
and the winner is.
- 20 May 2012 14:22173490the pictures don't do justice to how choppy the water was but these people seemed to be in charge of it all.
- 20 May 2012 15:25173504watched this one for a while moving serenely despite the strong gusts.
looks like the rowing teams came from afar, maybe james can fill us in what the race was all about?

- 31 May 2012 21:11175939Sorry everyone, I've only just seen these latest pics.
As Howards pictures show it was Sea Scouts having a bit of a rowing regatta. Unfortunately they did not want to use our facilities until they all needed a wee!!!
So I can't tell you anymore about the event.
We will be approaching them for the future and try to get them involved with us.Having a blast while living the dream
