Friends of Rutland Sailability

The ‘Friends of Rutland Sailability’ are our ambassadors and Supporters in the community.

They play an invaluable part by:

Identifying and recommending people with disabilities who might come and try sailing with us.

Encouraging individuals to give a little of their time to come to Sailability to help our sailors and support our activities.

Making regular donations to our funds that may be Gift Aided to increase their value.

‘Friends’ are always welcome

to visit the Club to see Sailability in Action.

They receive regular Club publications and invitations to Club social events, Supporters Day, etc.

There are opportunities to become involved in the management of ‘Friends’ – arranging events, etc.

SAILABILITY MAKES LANDFALL AT MORRISONS!

A piratical crew of Friends of Rutland Sailability, members of RS and a number of 'volunteer' chums from places various invaded Morrisons, Stamford, in Access 303S 'Jonners'  over World Cup Final Weekend - 10 and 11 July.

We were kept very busy over the two days, helping shoppers to bag their goods, selling chances to 'Guess The Length Of Rope' competition and making lots of contacts for new sailors and helpers.

The result was a cool £1,200! for the Friends of RS funds - all in support of Rutland Sailability.

A great big ''Thank you' to everyone who turned out on a hot sunny weekend to work indoors! (Maybe the coolest place to be!)

Look at photos on the RS website gallery - especially the new RS tabards - very smart
