Social

Generally all TSASA events have a social component.  Having fun both on and off the water is an inherent part of our fabric.  Often spontaneous gatherings occur on one or another boat for snacks and drinks or you may be invited to share a meal on another boat at anchor watching the sun set over the horizon.  That's what trailer sailing is all about!

The range of social events that occur include:-

• Monthly General Meetings are held on 1st Tuesday of the month (except January) at the Henley Sailing Club commencing at 8:00 pm. The meeting is followed by a general social period and the club bar is also available.  Most meetings include an interesting guest speaker, making for a very enjoyable evening. Click on meetings for more details. See the Events page for details of the next meeting.
• The season begins each September with the Opening Day BBQ Picnic.
• Christmas is celebrated with a Family Picnic and fun on the water usually at Hindmarsh Island. Even Santa makes a special visit to this event!
• The Annual Presentation Dinner is a fun night (see video below) with trophies for race winners and 'special prizes' for outstanding 'achievements' by members throughout the year .
• Every 'on water' event is turned into a weekend of socialising with impromptu happy hours and shared meals. When visiting other sailing clubs, particularly if staying overnight,  it is usual that we make use of the host club's restaurant or bar facilities.   Not only will you get to know other TSASA members quickly you will also meet members from other clubs and experience their welcome.

• You can also attend race and cruise events in your caravan if there is a suitable access.
• Even if not attending a racing event in your boat you can join in the dinner generally held the night before at the host club.
• Without a boat...you can crew on a member's boat for a race or even a cruise when a skipper needs an extra pair of hands onboard.
• Families are welcome and encouraged at not only social events but on-water racing and cruising as well.  We have some very competent young sailors amongst our membership.
