OCSG NATIONAL EVENTS CALENDAR 2012

If you haven't come across canoe sailing before and like the look of it, then come along to one of the events to take a look, chat about it to us and maybe even have a go - many group members will be happy to take you out on the water for you to see and feel what it's really like! Give the event organiser a call to find out details of where to find us, or email us at info@ocsg.org.uk

We offer a wide variety of events with the emphasis being on cruising in company.

Again we are hoping to have a large range of events for 2012. This is so that people can go sailing in their canoes with others much more often, but without having to travel so far. This should be achieved by holding a number of main or "national" meets, spread around the UK as much as we can, much as in previous years; but also having a number of "local" meets so that people can go canoe-sailing more regularly and not have to drive more than a couple of hours or so to several meets. Any suggestions about suitable venues are welcome - volunteers to help organise even more so! A guide for meet organisers has been published here - have a look and see what you can offer or get involved with.

Meets shown in RED are still provisional!
