Whether you’re a current S&CA member or thinking of joining the Club, you’re welcome to join us for the London Social from 7pm on the second Wednesday of the odd-numbered months. We meet upstairs at Retro Bar, 2 George Court, London, WC2N 6HH, just off The Strand near Charing Cross.
Our London Social has been an important part of S&CA life for decades. With many of our members living in and around London, it’s a key forum for meeting skippers and crew, making plans, and sharing sailing stories. It’s a great way for prospective members to get a feel for the Club, and for new members to get to know people before setting sail.
You’re free to come along without booking, but it helps us if you do, so we know you’re coming.
For early birds, we organise a meal beforehand at 17:45 at Pizza Express, 450 Strand, London, WC2R 0TG.
This runs as a separate event, so members can see who’s coming and cancel if they need to.
The booking will be under the name “Sailing Club” — just let the restaurant know you’re with this group and they’ll take you to our table.
If you can’t make the Pizza Express sitting, the Landlord at Retro Bar is more than happy for you to bring your own food, or order a delivery.
Both the dinner and the drinks are booked as separate events, so please book (and cancel, if your plans change) for each one you plan to attend.
If the occasional journey into London isn’t practical, keep an eye out for local social events (for example, in Brighton and Bristol). If you’d like to attend or help organise a local social elsewhere in the country, please contact social@gaysailing.org.uk
