Pretoria Sailing Club – News and MembershipCOVID UPDATE – 3 JAN 2021Dear All, Sadly the Club is closed again since the Rietvlei Reserve is also closed following the announcement of higher Covid Levels after Christmas. We will let you know by WhatsApp and here as soon as the situation changes. Kind regards David Humphrey Vice Commodore MembershipPretoria Sailing Club (PSC) is striving to find ways of making our club more affordable to both existing and new members, with the aim of encouraging more people to be involved, whether they sail dinghies or radio-controlled boats. In today’s world, where the choice of activities is significantly more diversified than it was 20 years ago, people have many options regarding their leisure time. If sailing is to be an activity of choice, it needs to be affordable, particularly in the current challenging economic climate. PSC is located within the Rietvlei Nature Reserve, and every member automatically becomes a member of the Friends of Rietvlei (FoR) organisation. Membership entitles them to various benefits, such as a number of free entries to the Reserve for themselves and their families. All club members also become members of South African Sailing (SAS), which entitles them to take part in all SAS-sanctioned events, and to be eligible for National and Regional Colours awards. PSC contributes to the running costs of both these organisations, and a portion of the club membership fees is allocated to them. Following discussions internally, PSC is pleased to announce the following revised policy for membership and fees. We have had to abandon the idea of monthly payments due to the administrative burden being too great unless there are exceptional circumstances.
2. Membership fees will be updated shortly, Categories are as follows: Family – available for husband and wife/partners plus their children up to the age of 18.
NEWSBoat Hire At PSC we have been adding to the fleet of club owned boats that are fun to sail for both single and double handers. We now have a choice of GP14, Dolphins, Lasers and Optimists/O9ers that you can hire. Our aim has been to develop a suitable fleet of boats for hire giving you the opportunity to enjoy more time on the water and develop your sailing skills while in the process of deciding whether or not to invest in a suitable yacht of your own.
