Batchworth Sea Scouts are associated to the Bu
ry Lake Young Mariners (BLYM) sailing club based at the Rickmansworth Aquadrome. Whilst the Scout Troop make regular use of the great facilities provided by BLYM, any member of Batchworth can do the same in their own time and in addition to the organised Group events. For example, a Bograt Explorer can polish up on their sailing skills on a breezy Saturday morning, or a Cub Scout family could enjoying a gentle sail around the lake on a warm Summer’s evening.
General sailing sessions run Saturday mornings or afternoons, Wednesday evenings, Bank Holidays and Summer Holidays. You must be pre-registered with BLYM to take advantage of Batchworth’s Group membership but this is simply achieved following a quick briefing from me to ensure you are familiar with the procedures at the club and confident on the water. If you’d like to take advantage of this scheme, please drop me an email at BMTaunt@hotmail.com, subject ‘BLYM sailing’.
BLYM also run RYA accredited training courses throughout the year. I would highly recommend these courses to all youngsters and encourage you to check out more details at www.blym.org.uk.
