TOPPER AND OPPIE ACTIVITIES 2010

Please note that Topper and Oppie activities are only available for HCYC members. If you wish to join please click on the How to Join page to downoad an application form.  

For 2010 we have decided to revert back to Sunday afternoons for our children's activities. The sessions are open to children of members.

In order to keep everyone informed and up to date a list of interested members is kept by the instructors. If you contact us with your children's christian names and ages this June that would be extremely useful.

We are also trying to introduce some Youth Racing sessions. Club Toppers can be used or your own single handers, like Picos would be most welcome. The sessions will be run by young persons for young persons so again please contact us if this appeals to you.

When the sessions will happen will depend on the level of interest, however it will be Sunday afternoons during the summer.

Dates

Oppi activities are planned for Sundays 20th and 27th June 2010 commencing at 13:45hrs.

Topper sessions are planned for Sundays 4th and 11th July commencing at 13:45hrs.

Preparation 

We have 6 Oppies available. The children will work in pairs as Rigging Buddies to get the Oppies ready for launching. Each Oppie will be checked before entering the water, and each sailor will be checked for lifejacket and footwear.

Launching 

The children are encouraged to launch and recover the boats themselves.

Activities for the Day

• Water Polo
• Balloon Tag
• Ducks

During the session we will go ashore for rest breaks. 

Safety

All children must have their own lifejacket and suitable footwear.

The patrol boat will be on the water, or moored nearby.

The Oppie officer may cancel proceedings if weather conditions are unfavourable.
