2021-11-21 09:30 - 2021-11-22 16:30 | Fairlop Outdoor Activity Centre, Forest Rd, Ilford, Redbridge, IG6 3HN, United Kingdom
On Sunday 21st November we have another volunteering day from 9:30 till 4:30. If you can make the monring, afternoon or the whole day, please let us know by emailing info@fairlopwaters.org.uk. If you haven’t previously completed a volunteer form, you can find them here: https://www.fairlopwaters.org.uk/volunteering/
Don’t worry too much about references unless you think you can volunteer regulalrly throughout the coming year, in which case please sady and we will ask for Vision to process a DBS for you.
The important job involves pulling up the protective matting along the shoreline and fixing it back down without the large pins that currently hold it. We hope to extend this with new matting accross all of the shoreline to protect the new boats when being launched. By launching and recovering the boats directly off the foreshore, the time taken to get on the water for large groups will be much reduced, giving more time afloat.
In addition, there are gardening, boat repair and lots of other ‘wintering’ things that are needed to keep the centre going while protecting things in the quieter season.

It’s a good idea with sailing to check that there is wind and not too much wind – check the met office app for weather at Fairlop

Boat building and sailing skills
2021-10-27 09:00 - 2021-10-28 16:30 | Redbridge
Over half term on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th we will be helping the centre to run two sessions from 9am to 4:30 each day where young people with enough experience sailing (able to sail a triangular course) can come and learn how to rig a boat from scratch and to help rig the new Fusions ‘out of the box’, setting the masts etc.
In the afternoon on both days we will run through racing rules, tactics and then practice on the water (wind permitting), using some of the new boats. There will be a nominal £5 cost for each day for this combined volunteering / skills activity and a packed lunch will be required. Please email foac@visionrcl.org.uk (and copy info@fairlopwaters.org.uk so we can track numbers)

Times are 9am till 4.30 on either or both days.
