Silver Award for KGSC in it's fight against Single Use Plastic

As a Club, we have a responsibility to show that we are making waves against Single Use Plastic. I am pleased to say that we have now been awarded the Silver Award against Single Use Plastic.

This means…

  • We use refillable condiment bottles.

  • Plastic free straws.

  • Reusable/washable cups and glasses.

  • Reusable/washable cutlery.

  • Removal of single use drinking bottles.

  • Use of recyclable cans.

  • Reducing our use of paper and using recycled where possible.

  • And many more…

As a Club, we can continue to do better by removing from use any Single Use Plastic items. The next step, Gold.

Community Grant from Tesco

A big THANK YOU to all those that voted to support the Club junior activities by voting in local Tesco stores. We have been awarded £500 to assist in training more juniors, through the purchase of more equipment, such as buoyancy aids, wetsuits, race marks and bits for boats.

6 Brand New Fusion Dinghies

We’ve just taken delivery of 6 brand new Fusion dinghies for the Club and LWC to utilise for training. A big thank you to all those that donated, help fundraise, and those that awarded grants. Without you this wouldn’t have been possible.

The Green Blue- Final Straw Foundation Bronze Award

King George Sailing Club can announce that we have received the bronze award from The Green Blue and The Final Straw Foundation. This means we have met the minimum criteria for ensuring that we are tackling, reducing and reusing single use plastic (SUP) from our club. No small achievement.

Going forwards, the next step is to work towards the silver award. If you would like to assist in the self assesment audit and reduce the clubs use of SUP please get in touch with a member of the committee.

Help us Fund Raise
