Santa has been busy at Blackwater Sailing Club keeping up with our festive social programme!

On Sunday 11 December 35 children had a fun time at their X-mas party with a brilliant entertainer, party tea and all enjoyed getting a present from Father Christmas. The parents all joined in with the Hokey Cokey at the end.

On Thursday 16 December the Christmas lunch returned to the beautifully decorated main clubroom. After a delicious traditional X-mas turkey meal followed by X-mas pudding, we enjoyed a sing along with a variety of favourite carols. There was some particularly enthusiastic participation to “The Twelve Days of Christmas” with each table in charge of a day!

On Friday 23 December Santa will be back to watch the beautifully decorated boats enjoy a festive sail before the Friday sailors X-mas lunch. Adults who have been good will get a chance to sit on Santa’s lap and get a gift from his sack!

With best wishes for a very happy Christmas to all our members and friends and a sailing filled 2023.
