The Informal Shrimper Fest is now taking shape. Registration will be on Thursday 10 September at the quay (or in the club if necessary) at 18.00. There will be sailing on four days starting on the Friday, to include, weather permitting, a cruise at sea, a race in the estuary somewhere and two novelty events....

For those needing to secure Christmas presents early or just wanting something a little different, the Bosun’s Locker will be parading on the quay (weather permitting) tomorrow (Monday) 1200-1500 hrs. Uniquely catering to your every need (well some of them anyway), and global warming ready – if it gets too hot, just wear an RSWSC...

As some of you will be aware, yesterday we had to take the precautionary measure of closing the club late in the afternoon. A member of staff had exhibited symptoms consistent with a possible Coronavirus infection. We have just had confirmation that the test result was negative. Good for the staff member, good for the...

A Message from the Commodore: Further to a telephone conversation with the Harbour Master this morning, and with Vice Commodore Sailing late last night, I wish to make it clear the Club’s stance on sailing and waterski activity at the current time. The Management Committee of RSWSC made a difficult but considered decision during lockdown...

That it’s David and Jane Parr’s golden wedding anniversary today!

Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water… And just when you thought these posts had gone away!

Of interest to all fast boats and Shrimpers with go-faster stripes.

We regret to announce that Camel Week 2020 has had to be cancelled because the Covid restrictions continue to be in force.  Also please note that all future racing shown in the 2020 sailing programme has been suspended until further notice. It is encouraging that recreational sports activities are resuming, including an increasingly amount of...

This Friday you can have 2 portions of fish and chips (cod or scampi) plus a bottle of house wine (red, white or rose) for the total giveaway price of just £30.             Take it home or picnic on the quay. 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. first come, first served...

Well, we survived the first day of re-opening (thank you lovely staff who were so patient and untiring). And the weather gods smiled on our efforts. We weren’t completely overrun, and so have decided we could probably cope with guests as well without keeping members out. We will now allow members to bring guests as...

Salmon chanted evening… (and lunchtime). Opening times from this Monday Bar open 11 a.m.-close every day. Galley open for light menu (see below) 12 noon – 6 p.m. daily except Friday which will be 12-3 then 6-8 (Fish Night is coming back Woohoo!) Daily light menu (items may vary): Bacon roll; bacon and egg roll;...

We are all set to reopen this Monday, 6th July, though as you might have expected, things will be a little different this year. Opening times will be published soon, and available on the website here. We have a smaller team, and a more compact menu which will be displayed on the blackboard – there...

The Club reluctantly must announce that Junior Camel Week for 2020 has been cancelled. This decision has not been taken lightly and we have considered the guidance offered by the government (in particular information from DCMS – The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport), the RYA, Padstow Harbour Commissioners, and our insurance company. It...

Something to practice when you’ve mastered (mistressed?) everything else…  

We hope you are all managing to keep safe and relatively sane. This note is to provide an update on what is happening in Rock (or not happening!) and a view of the future. The restrictions are being lifted incrementally and some casual sailing has resumed on the Camel. The restrictions make it too difficult...

Education gives us a knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something better. It develops in us a perspective of looking at life. It helps us build opinions and have points of view on things in life.
