SEA WEEK  

Sea Week 2024 – 12^th – 16^th August (officially)

 

Sea Week 2024 is just around the corner, so here are a few more details for the week.

 

For those who have never attended Sea Week before, it's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the unique setting and wonderful facilities our club has to offer for more than a weekend.

The club house and beach are open throughout the week and members arrange a wide array of on, and off water activities.

 

Many members camp on the field which creates a great festival atmosphere with the PBSC village appearing from the Thursday before until the Sunday after Sea week.

There's something for everyone and Planning for Sea Week 2023 is well under way and set to be another action-packed week.

The event is now live on the clubs Facebook page so please check in there for the latest updates.

If you would like to attend Sea Week, then please fill in the form in the following link to give details stating how many people will be attending in your party and if you plan on camping.

Everyone chips in on chores to ensure the bar remains stocked, safety boats are maintained, and club house and green are kept clean & orderly.

You'll be asked to sign up for some of these duties when booking and the success of the week pivots around everyone taking on some responsibility.

Live Duty Roster can be found in this link if you want to sign up early 

 

With this email you will find attachments explaining roles and responsibilities, the simple Sea week rules plus a schedule of when help is needed.(go to the live shared document too volunteer)

 

The first Rounds of the annual Cadet Cup takes place on Saturday 10th August followed by an informal DIY BBQ in the evening.

Summer Series Races are scheduled for Sunday and then the official Sea week activities begin on Monday the 12th of August and continue through until the evening of Friday 16th.

 

Due to its extreme popularity Sea Week is a strictly members only event, and members are reminded that for safety reasons children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

 

I will be sending out notices through Facebook, WhatsApp and the Webcollect membership emails – sorry if you get bombarded by all mediums.

This year we have gone retro on catering, and while the two Galleys will be available there is no formal meal provision, and members will need to come together to either plan meals, camp cook or order in.

 

The plan is to have a continental breakfast spread each morning with lunch and cakes etc all on a pay as you go basis (volunteers will be needed every day for this to work)

 

The general idea is that each day will hold something for everyone; morning fun sailing activities, afternoon free sailing, early evening Sea Week series of mixed fleet racing, cruises, treasure hunts, evening socials and more…

 

SOCIAL

Each evening after dinner we will try to have some fun and games in the clubhouse, following a loose schedule, you can always chill by the fire pit, on the patio or the beach if it’s not your thing.

The communal fire pit will be setup on the green, We would love to get through the pile of timber on the beach.

 

CAMPING

IF you are planning on attending and camping let me know using the form here

https://webcollect.org.uk/pbsc/event/sea-week-camping

We really need these response forms (even if you have said you are coming through another format) to make sure we have enough room for everyone who wants to camp and to allow enough safety boat cover and associated resources.  

There's a £25 charge to camp for the week – to cover the additional cost of cleaners and keeping the club open and boats running.

 

Please fill in the Gift Aid form and bring with you when attending Sea Week.

 

So – Once again I’m off into the loft to dig out all the necessary (& unnecessary) camping paraphernalia for what I’m hoping will be a fun & memorable week.

See you on the water/beach/green/patio ????

Any questions contact me using social@pbsc.org.uk
