Maidenhead

One of the most active and welcoming Sailing Club and Watersports club in Berkshire Founded in 1965, Maidenhead Sailing Club has a long tradition locally as a friendly family sailing club where both new and seasoned sailors and paddlers feel welcome. With about 400 members, the club is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers, so you can always find a helping hand and a friendly face. Welcome to our club website, here you can find all sorts of information about what goes on at the club. From information about the staggering amount of things you can get involved with to the very latest club racing results. We offer sailing and paddling throughout the year and have activities for novices through experts. So, whether you are looking to relax or race on the water or enjoy our fantastic facilities from shore we've got something for you. We proudly opened our new deck this August and it has fast become a major draw to members to come and enjoy the wonderful facilities on offer. Our Water Activity Weeks have been enjoyed by 60+ youngsters over the two weeks this year through some of the warmest weather in recent times. The lake depth has continued to drop but remains very useable for both sailing and paddle sports with racing continued all through the summer. We're looking forward to rain and the lake depth recovering but our blue dye program has certainly helped fight back the weed. Our bar can be enjoyed each Thursday night and Sunday lunchtime and our Social Saturdays continue deep into September. If you are looking for a relaxed, social and friendly club then look no further than Maidenhead Sailing Club. Come down on a Thursday night, Saturday or Sunday morning to learn more about what we can offer at really good rates.

I'm a Mum, business owner, environmentalist, singer, truth seeker, writer and essential oil lover! I love connecting with like minded people and I am so pleased that you are here! My passion is educating about the power of plant medicine and empowering families around the world to live happier, healthier and more sustainable lives, as well as achieving financial and time freedom. Let me tell you where it all started! I have always had a fascination for our environment. Fossils and nature intrigued me and I went on to study geology at university. For many years I worked as an exploration geologist then a hydro-geologist. I learnt many things, including how delicate and fragile our environment is, and how important it is that we respect it. It made me think about where our drinking water comes from, where it goes to and how vulnerable our water supplies are to pollution. I discovered that pollutants from everyday household rubbish can easily (and quickly) end up in our drinking water, and many of these pollutants are readily bought off the shelf in our local supermarkets. It made me really start thinking about what and how much I was throwing away. Then I became a mother! After the birth of my son, I became even more interested in how our environment, and the products that we use, could affect our health. I discovered that we are surrounded by an increasing range of toxins, carcinogens, and irritants in common use around the home, garden and workplace. Products we eat, breathed or put on our skin every day! I was horrified and decided that something had to change. So I started looking for solutions and GreenLifeOrganics began. I believe that our health and our environment are interlinked in ways that we will never fully understand, but if we strive to improve our environment, then there is a good chance that our health will benefit. And if we all make small changes towards leading a healthier and more sustainable life, then there is a good chance that our environment will benefit.

Hi, I am Anna. I set up WanderWomen Scotland Ltd in November 2018, in order to encourage women into the Outdoors, and to enable them to have their space the male-dominated Adventure world. Nature has been my happy place ever since growing up in East Germany, a locked-down country. Getting away from propaganda, Stasi spies and political control, getting outdoors meant freedom and truth, even if that meant holidaying in really basic huts, without electricity or flowing water, skinny dipping in all kinds of bodies of water and cooking over fire. After spending my 20s in London, turning my back on nature a little, yet still cycling everywhere, having my own children made me appreciate the outdoors again, I re-familiarised myself with the feeling of content that the seasons brought, or the reassurance of the cycles of growth in the garden, or the cycles of the moon. Disagreeing with the early school starting age in the UK, I flexi-schooled my 2 boys throughout their Primary School years, working with local rangers, counting bumble bees and orchids and doing other conservation tasks, built mandala sculptures, bug hotels, community gardens and a willow play village at a local park and set up an outdoor learning group for pre-school children. Once it was not cool enough for them anymore, spending their Mondays climbing trees and making fires with Mama, I decided I wanted to keep sharing the benefits of nature, as well as my survival skills – and with the help of a vision board, and support from family and friends, WanderWomen was born: Offering Outdoor events in a mix of mindfulness and adventure. Wild Swimming is my Meditation, Solo Camping is Selfcare, Yoga is being playful, Silence is where my Creativity gets birthed, and Walking is thinking & problem-solving. Cycling is getting me from A to B, and my competitive side manifests itself in going slower. I love the smell of fire and the sound of rain on canvas. Plant connection is strong, and I forage, appreciate and lay mandalas to practice mindfulness.
