Thursday 27th August……The Sailing is ON! However, unfortunately the concrete ramp will NOT be available for access to and from the foreshore due to the installation of new security gates taking place, so the only access to the foreshore will be via the steps leading down from the clubhouse. This means that wheelchair users will be unable to access the foreshore. For all those who can access the foreshore and go sailing, the forecasters are saying that there will be early rain, but they also say that the sun will come out by mid-morning!

Come to Chipstead on Monday, August 31 and support our team. It’s a fun day where approximately 700 people attend. Racing starts at 10.00.

Parking

This year there are 24 teams. The parking will be bedlam. There will be parking at the Club but you need to arrive by 9.00. If you want to leave during the day, I’d suggest you park closer to the Bricks or at the Chevening Primary School – Open from 8am or Chipstead Recreation Ground – Open 24/7 – limited spaces.

Food

There’s a variety of food stalls. The Club bar will be open.

Disabled Area

There’s a disabled area in front of the Club house.
