Snowflakes Sailing Club to relocate to Wroxham Broad
The Flag Officers and Committees of Snowflakes and NBYC are delighted to announce that they have reached an agreement that, from the beginning of the winter season 2023, all SFSC activities will take place at Wroxham Broad.
This has secured the future of SFSC and will significantly increase the opportunities for the membership of both organisations.
SFSC will remain a separate club and retain our unique identity whilst being affiliated to NBYC. We will run our own winter series of racing and social programmes as per usual. SFSC members will have full access to the excellent facilities that NBYC offers throughout our season.
NBYC members wishing to enter the winter racing events will need to join SFSC, unless invited as guests, as before.
NBYC members and SFSC will of course have full access to the club and have a standing invitation to spectate and to enjoy any catering provided during racing.
You will appreciate that this is a significant change for both clubs, one we know will enrich the experience of all. A great deal of time and effort has been expended in creating a suitable agreement that protects the interests of all whilst increasing opportunities for both memberships. It will take the first winter season for us to put the agreement into full operation, but we are confident that the welcome we have received from NBYC will be demonstrated in the relaxed Snowflake spirit throughout the winter.
In the meantime the SFSC committee will be working diligently with NBYC to ensure that this will be a smooth transition and start of a new era of Snowflakes at a new location.
For your information membership forms will be available over the next few weeks and we have maintained the same
rate as last year for membership. Also as a thank you for your support there is a 10% discount for paid up members prior to October 31 st. This is membership only.
- Adult Racing: £60 (£54)
- Family Racing: £85 (£76.50)
- Junior Racing*: £25 (£22.50)
- Student Racing: £25 (£22.50)
- Associate: £35 (£31.50)
*Junior membership must be accompanied by at least one parent/carer joining as an Associate
As briefly mentioned at the AGM, mooring and berths will need to be paid to NBYC once completed and paid
membership is received by SFSC….This season rates will be £120 keelboat mooring, £60 dinghy berth, £40 Junior
dinghy berth. (No more than a 5% increase per annum for following 2 seasons).
We will keep you posted.

Broadland Youth Regatta Winners 2022!
On 3rd September 2022 Snowflakes took part in the NSBA Broadland Youth Regatta at WOBYC. The team of experienced juniors won two of the individual fleets, and came away with the overall team event trophy!
Well done all! Also a big thank you to WOBYC for running the event and Barracuda Bay for sponsoring the team!

Many thanks to BARRACUDA BAY for supporting the team rash vests.
Tri-Icicle sponsored by Jeckells the Sailmakers
Following a successful Tri-Icicle sponsored by Jeckells the Sailmakers this year, I would just like to say a few thank you’s; that we would normally do at the prize giving.
Firstly to the competitors, for supporting us during these times: it was a lot of fun watching you all go round and we really couldn’t do it without you!
Secondly, to my committee and fellow Flag Officers for their support before and during the race. Many hours were spent preparing to run the race in a slightly different way: we look forward to welcoming you all back to the Island another season.
Thirdly, to all the volunteers on the day: galley, guardships, race officers, results, Rupert’s garden (for starting), safety boats, Alastair and Woody for sorting out the radios (with kind permission from Horning Sailing Club).
Well done to everyone for completing the course in the brisk conditions. The results are out: we have some trophies to find homes for, and the glitzy Tri-Icicle glasses making their way to the top 5.
Finally, we are here all winter at Horning, with the clubhouse and galley open every Sunday. If you fancy extending your season we offer full and half winter memberships, for details click on https://www.sfsc.co.uk/pages/application/
