Bath Sailing Club

Bath Sailing Club is a small friendly club that traditionally meets at The Village Club in Bathford (58 High Street, BA1 7SN) at 19:15 for 19:45 on the second Monday of the month throughout the winter.

Meetings usually start with an informal gathering in the bar then move into the function room for a talk from a guest speaker.  The Crown Inn, just down the hill, serves excellent food should you fancy a meal first.

The club also organises RYA courses, obtaining group discounts for the participants.

Some club members offer berths on their own boats and others are willing to act as crew. Several club members privately charter, not as part of the club, and are often looking for additional crew to share the cost. If you are looking to get into sailing but do not have a yacht or the experience to charter on your own this may be of interest to you.

For more information, please contact the Secretary or Chairman via our Contact page, or turn up on the night at The Village Club for a warm welcome!

Gloucestershire and the Atlantic Slave Trade

Our guest speaker is Tony Condor, historian and local guide.

Gloucester was not involved in the slave trade to the extent that Bristol was.  However it does have surprising connections on both sides of the debate in the late 18th Century and early 19th.

What was the slave trade? What income did it generate? What were the results for Gloucestershire including for local characters such as the Blathwayts of Dyrham House?

This illustrated talk aims to tell the history – and leave the audience to make their own minds up.

It should make for a fascinating evening!  Non-members welcome.
