HIMLEY Hall Sailing Club is hosting free taster days this summer for aspiring sailors to take to the water.

The club, which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, sails on the landlocked lake at Himley Country Park and has produced a number of national champions and Olympic competitors over the years.

To encourage non-members to try their hand at the sport the club is holding free taster days on August 13 and 14.

Experienced members will take the general public for taster sails, providing all equipment and a safety boat.

Booking is essential. Anyone interested can call Ian Sim on 01902 755149.
