HSSC Junior Windsurfing Training 2008 (06/04/08) (by Phil Hards)
Hythe Hotshots T15
Team 15 training will commence on Sat 26th April either at HSSC or the lake. If we use the lake there will be the usual £5 launching fee for those not a member of their club. On the 27th we are straight into the 1st event at Bewl reservoir! Let`s get the season off to a flyer with a good turnout. T15 members are welcome to freesail at the beginner/intermediate sessions during the summer but will not be supervised. There will be HSSC coach support at all of the training/events listed.

Zone/National squad
Our zone and national squad windsurfers are welcome to join in with the T15 training. Tuesday night racing has already commenced, racing starts at 18.00 hours sharp! on the water. Graeme Fuller has kindly offered his services for 3 advanced race tactics workshops in May. For aspiring racers these are not to be missed. Bring your notebooks with you! We are aiming to provide some 1 on 1 sessions throughout the year when possible, concentrating on boardhandling, and race tactics.

Beginner/intermediate training
Training starts on Thursday nights in June and sessions will be strictly limited to groups of ten, selected by experience. Details/application forms will be available soon. We would like to sign up last years beginners for the Hythe Hotshots T15 team for our home event in July! So watch out. Any queries, please mail me. Phil Hards. Click here for training timetable

Dinghy Park Resurfacing (11/02/08) (by Peter Wright)
As you will have read in the membership renewal packs, we are planning to lay a hard surface in the dinghy park which will help with drainage, keep weeds down, and generally improve look of the club. The work being planned is substantial and will require boats to be removed for a short time. At present we expect that work will commence in late February to be completed by start of the season on 23rd March. Further details will be sent out shortly. We also plan to replace the dinghy park fence, which, despite our best efforts with maintenance, is now in a poor condition.

Happy New Year (02/02/08)
A very happy New Year once again (blimey that way quick!) from your one man web team. Its that time of year when we can all start to really look forward to the forthcoming season. It may be cold right now, but the days are getting ever longer, and the new sailing and windsurfing season is getting ever closer. Let's hope that 2008 is a fantastic year for us all. MDM.
