England gives Weston Bay Yacht
Club a new Clubhouse. Weston Bay Yacht Club (WYBC) has been successful in obtaining a
£50,000 grant from Sport England under the Inspired Facilities programme to
redevelop their Club House on Uphill Beach. They will build a new extension
on to their existing building to provide showers, toilets, teaching and
storage space, all with disabled access, for the existing and the next generation of wind and water
users of Weston-super-Mare and the surrounding areas. The Inspired Facilities
project is a competitive programme run by Sport England to provide funding to
improve or build fixed facilities for all types of sporting activity, WYBC
bid for, and won, the maximum grant obtainable. Their bid was made with
support from the local community, politicians and advice from North Somerset
council. Weston Bay Yacht Club are actively looking to recruit sailors,
kite surfers, wind surfers, land yachtsmen, water skiers and users of wind and
water in the Weston- super-Mare area that can benefit from the new
facilities. Building will start later this year with the intention of having
the new Clubhouse ready for use by early spring of next year. WYBC Commodore, Bob Godbold, said “This is a great day for
Weston Bay Yacht Club and all the sportsmen and sportswomen of
Weston-super-Mare who use the sea, sand and wind of Weston Bay for all types
of recreational activity. It will provide first class social, teaching and
recreational space along with showers, changing rooms and toilets with access
for all physical abilities right on the beach” . The
club offers a warm welcome to both new members and guests, whether local to
the area or just passing through. Hopefully you can pay us a visit via sea or
land - and have the opportunity to appreciate We have
some of the highest tides in the world here - and the area is a protected
wetland site.
