RS Feva project for WSC Cadets (YOBs - Youth on Boats)
Photograph shows WSC Cadet Organser, Phil Samways receiving a cheque from Brian Cookson of Kitchen Craft, one of the initial three local industry sponsors who have made available the funds to purchase RS Feva dinghies for the YoBs, as part of the Club drive to improve facilities for our Youth Section.
The YoBs have also been pleased to hear that their application for a grant towards the acquisition of that fleet of brand new training dinghies has been approved by Sportsmatch, the national agency responsible for allocation of funds to youth groups seeking to improve their capabilities. The commercial support offered by Sportsmatch is given as a result of them matching, pound for pound, the support of the three local businesses who have each committed to purchasing one dinghy each, Kitchen Craft (above), Portwey Letting and Universal Engineering. The fleet is now on order and will be delivered to allow use in the forthcoming season. More information on Sportsmatch, more local companies and groups supporting the initiative and the activities arranged by YoBs when we see the boats on and of the water at the Club Open Day in May.
