If you’re looking for a sailing club to join this year then make sure you come and see us at Marconi Sailing Club on the 25th May. Marconi offers sailing, windsurfing, rowing and paddle sports in a safe and family friendly environment.
The River Blackwater offers some fantastic adventures for you, your friends, or family, no matter what age or ability they are at.
