11 June 2022 – Our legendary Come and Try Day returned.

Our 2022 visitors loved their Hickling windsurfing so much so that 35 of them joined! We had fantastic conditions and our 24 volunteers did a sterling job to look after everyone on the day.

With such a large group of new beginners, we have introduced a comprehensive support system to help them find their way around the Club, and progress to ‘full speed ahead’ asap.

Yes, it was a fantastic day!

March 2022 Update –

Further to relaxation of government rules and advice, most of our original precautions at keeping members safe have been relaxed. Please continue to respect others space, in particular the changing rooms. The changing rooms are being cleaned and sanitised generally bi-weekly, with soaps, sanitiser, and shower gel provided.

The car park gate and beach gate should now be kept closed.

Follow the latest Government advice at all times.

As always, if anyone has any questions, suggestions or provide feedback then please email martinhwc@btinternet.com, or editorhwc@gmail.com. The committee will review the situation regularly and modify the precautions appropriately.

Note for fb users: Full details and updates are also be published on the “Hickling Windsurfing Club Members” only fb page. Please search fb, go to that page and request access.

The Committee will keep abreast of the evolving Government and RYA advice, and we will keep our risk assessment constantly under review. We will revise and re-issue our advice as appropriate. 

Some events and training are being planned this year. 1:1 buddy sessions may be possible subject to instructors willing to do so.
