Sailing and canoeing on the River Thames in Kingston

We have been racing on Sundays during August, and social sailing and kayaking on the river individually and in small groups continues within ‘the guidelines’.  We are also pleased to welcome all members to the bar, although things have changed a little.

Minima Sailors and Paddlers are encouraged to get out on the river in small groups and enjoy the last of the summer weather.  Activities on the water are currently running from the dinghy park as the Clubhouse is closed.  On Sunday, the launch is manned between 1100 and 1600 for ‘on-water’ support and informal coaching.  Please observe the guidelines for social distancing, numbers and hygiene.

We are also now opening the bar for limited numbers of members on Sundays and Wednesdays. If you want to come to the bar you MUST pre-book here (there is no charge).
