 From 1979 to 2008 I was the Warden of the Oxford School Sailing Association, which provided inexpensive sailing for school and youth groups. In 2008 I retired, with the intention of bringing the model of organization to Barry. I am an RYA Coach Assessor, Powerboat Instructor and Windsurfing SI. I am also experienced in dinghy racing, as an International Judge, National Umpire and Race Officer. I grew up in Barry and am keen that local young people have the opportunity to achieve as much as they are able through sailing. At Oxford there was a fleet of over 100 boats and experienced instructors available at minimal cost to youth organizations. This was achieved by;- 1. Sharing equipment – ODSSA boats were used by various groups all day. 2. Training of leaders and young people to the required standards. I would like your support for Barry Youth Watersports, a company limited by Guarantee No 6759252. Ideally through the creation of a Watersports Base in Barry Docks which would enable all youth groups to access water activity. Brett was a Committee Member with the Barry Sea Cadet Unit and had been trying to improve their facilities for several years. Unfortunately, his job has taken him to Australia and he had to resign as a director in 2010.  Keith is the Scout District Commissioner for the Barry Area. |
