Frampton on Severn Sailing Club has been sailing on Townfield Lake for over 40 years.

It was formed from an idea by Mr Peter Clifford Estate Owner and Mr Frank Hazlewood, Local Postmaster to encourage the local children to enjoy the sailing experience.

Forty Years later the club has an active membership of over 250, runs Sail Training courses each year for people ranging in age from 8 to 65. These are run mainly in the clubs fleet of 20+ training boats.

The main classes of boats sailed are

Laser, Solo, Enterprise, Mirror, Topper and Optimist plus a Handicap fleet.

There is also a Sailability group within the club that caters for disabled sailors and presently these number around 40 with disabilities ranging from Deaf-Blind, Cerebral Palsy to Learning Difficulties. This group sails on Saturdays from April to October.

The club is family orientated and is very active socially, for two Bank Holiday weekends each year members camp at the club and spend the weekend messing about in boats.

The club has an excellent informative web site and this can be reached by clicking on the picture above.
