"Since the election last year, I have had more time to enjoy the things I love which includes #sailing and enjoying being on the water so it was wonderful on such a beautiful weekend with sun and wind to attend the Wilsonian Sailing Club for their Prize Giving after another very successful Medway Dinghy Regatta very kindly sponsored by MTS Cleansing Services Ltd, as a local business their continued support of the Club and the Regatta is outstanding so a massive thank you to MTS it was great to catch up with old friends and enjoy the club particularly as the Red Arrows gave us a fly past - Thanks to the Commodore Phil and all the organisers, an event put on by amazing volunteers and also a big congratulations to all the winners. if you have ever thought about sailing on our fabulous river the club is very welcoming and a great place to dinghy sail."
