Local sponsors support Squib Nationals

Local sponsors are giving support to the National Squib Championships being held in Weymouth Sailing Club from 27 June - 3 July 2009 in a ct_logo_master2number of ways.

Clipper Teas of Beaminster is donating sufficient tea and coffee for the championship sailors to be offered free hot drinks throughout the week. In exchange for providing this service the Club is asking the sailors to make a voluntary contribution to the chosen charity The Chesil Trust.  The Chesil Trust is a Dorset based registered charity to enable young or disabled people to enjoy the thrills of sailing.   For some years, in conjunction with the W&P National Sailing Academy, Sail Laser and the County Council's Outdoor Education Centre in Weymouth, it has enabled children in Year 6 of Dorset schools to 'Sail for a Fiver'. 

Dean and Reddyhoff Marinas are providing launch and recovery and storage facilities for the event. Other sponsors who have each sponsored a day of the regatta are Arthur Savage Insurance from Dorchester, Dream Cottages, Haven Holidays and The Heights Hotel, Portland.  O'Three wetsuits are supporting the championship clothing range.  Palmers Brewery has always supported the Club when it hosts events and is providing beer.  Prizes are being provided by  Portland Leisure and Sport, The Sea Life Centre, Brewers Quay and Lloyds Bank.

The Club is very grateful for this support and, with 64 entries already registered, is looking forward to a successful 'Nationals'.
