The sailing club caters mainly for off the beach dinghies and catamarans; however, Lake Wyangan is deep enough for trailer sailors up to 6m in lengths, which can be launched at the club’s ramp or the neighboring public area.

The club sails every Sunday afternoon from 1 September through to 30 April. All boats compete on Yardstick handicap to level out the performance of all boats. We also run a winter sailing series for the more hardy sailors. Often, it is some of the best sailing of the year!

If you are not into competing, but just want to come along any enjoy a leisurely cruise around the lake, and develop your sailing skills, you can do that too. There is always someone who can offer tips on how to sail better and have a chat with afterwards.

Two blokes drop into a pub. They wait for a mate. They tell some yarns. They tell some stories. They have a laugh.… AND THEY HAVE A FEW QUIET ALES.

A FEW QUIET ALES is the story of Fruitfly and Cactus, two friends at a bar waiting for Olemate. While waiting they reminisce about Olemate and his many crazy adventures and in turn compete to create the Great Australian Yarn.

With some fun audience interaction (even a Chook Raffle!) and choc full of wonderful Aussie humour and language, this is a performance that will engage all. Full of tall stories, jokes and yarns, A FEW QUIET ALES is just the right medicine for those in regional communities.

We are excited to announce we will be holding a community ‘We Love Our Pool’ Open Day on Sunday 14 February 2021.

This will be the first day the community will be able to enjoy the new pool facilities and we will be celebrating with free entry, a free BBQ and a DJ to create a real party atmosphere.
