Off the Water Walks

Posted on 20/02/202526/02/2025 by IainM

Our membership is an active bunch – and many of us enjoy other outdoor pursuits as well as watersports. A group of members go for a hike from time to time, exploring the scenery and sometimes the history around our area, and especially enjoying being in the company of like-minded people.

Here are some pictures of a wee expedition in the Pentlands on 19 February 2025, organised by Charles and Alison. We covered about 8 km (5 miles) in a little under 3 hours on this chilly, breezy February day.

AGM Report

Due to the Doddie Weir MND cycle event the start of the AGM was delayed by 10 minutes as both the Commodore and the Vice Commodore were stuck behind the event. As it was all in aid of such a wonderful charity, nobody was concerned and it gave those attending the AGM time to catch up with each other.

2024 St Mary’s On Tour (To Forfar!)

Posted on 30/09/202409/12/2024 by IainM

St Mary’s club members visited Forfar Sailing and Watersports Club over the weekend of 28 and 29 September, and came away with some of the silverware. The club sails on Forfar Loch, a small area of water where the boats are always close together, the wind is never constant, there are often big windshifts, and patchy wind coverage. Sounds a lot like St Mary’s, apart from the size of the loch!
