What a lovely club! Thank you for an amazing afternoon with a wonderful BBQ. The children who ran the BBQ were fantastic, and so helpful. We would love to come back - hope you run it again soon!
Hello MSC friends! We just joined MSC and plan to use our recently-acquired kayak on the lake. Only one snag - the kayak is in our garden and we don’t have a roof rack. We only live 5 mins away (close to Furze Platt station) - if anyone has a van/trailer/roof-rack and is willing to help in return for a drink (or two!) please let me know 🛶
The Youth & Junior Virtual Series Starts Tonight 6pm
Hi people.
This is possibly going to sound like a strange post.
I am in search of a tiny little keelboat called a Minuet.
I’ve searched far and wide to no avail.
But I found a video of loads of them sailing at Maidenhead Sailing Club and wondered if anyone at all has one, either to sell, or for me to study so I can scratch build one. I understand they aren’t in production anymore.
Sorry if I’ve posted this in the wrong place, feel free to wrap me on the knuckles and point me elsewhere.
But please let me know either in comments or PM if you can help
Many thanks.

Hi there,
I'm a TV Producer and I was hoping you might be happy to share the information below in your group and with any family, friends and colleagues?
I'm looking for couples from Maidenhead, and the rest of the UK, to take part in an exciting new series for a major broadcaster and I think it could be a great opportunity for some of your followers?
TV company 7Wonder are looking for couples who want to get engaged but feel that their parents haven't accepted their relationship due to their partner not being what their family had in mind for them.
Maybe your parents are worried they won't be able to provide for you in the long term?
Or is your partner from a completely different background to yourself?
Whatever the reason we are planning on helping the couples taking part get engaged and plan their wedding whilst hopefully bringing their families together in time for the big day.
If any of the above sounds like you then visit our website
www.loveagainsttheodds.com/cdi for more information on how to apply or email me at
[email protected]
Or if you think any of your friends or family could benefit from the experience then please do share this information with them. We'd love to hear from anyone that thinks their relationship with their potential in-laws could do with some improvement.
Thanks,
Jonathan
