Sailing Taster Day (2)
***PLEASE NOTE:*** *Signup for our events must be made through the London Sailing Club website, and not via Meetup - [click here to register](https://www.londonsailing.club/Events/Calendar/View?id=201). If you are not already a member of the club you will need to become a full or social member which you can do [by clicking here](https://www.londonsailing.club/Registration/Register?isSlotReAssignment=False).*
(Depart from / Return to Port Hamble Marina)
**London Sailing Club Taster Day**
Have you been along to one of our socials and heard about our sailing trips, or seen club trips advertised on Meetup or our club's website, but you're not quite sure whether it's for you? Here is your chance to try out sailing with the club without committing to a multi-day trip. We're sure you're going to love it out on the water with us, and will want to come out with us again!
For insurance reasons all participants in club trips must be adults and full members of the club (annual membership fee is ÂŁ24). We're confident you will have a great time and will want to come and sail with us again, but we're happy to refund your membership fee if, after your taster day, you decide membership is not for you.
Membership benefits include the ability to join sailing trips in the UK, the Mediterranean and other European destinations, sailing skills weekends, lots of varied social events, free online Theory classes, access to our "Take The Helm" coaching programme to help you develop practical skippering experience after obtaining Day Skipper, special discounts on occasional RYA training from accredited schools, and up to 15% discount on bareboat chartering with partner companies.
*Taster Day Plan*
We will meet at Port Hamble Marina at 9am for introductions and a safety briefing aboard the yacht. Parking is available at the marina. We'll aim to set off before 10am to make the most of a day sailing on the Solent. Depending on the weather and the wind we might drop anchor for lunch, after which we'll make our way back to Port Hamble Marina and be off the boats around 4.00pm. Participants are welcome to stay on for drinks in the marina bar where they will likely meet other club members.
If getting to Port Hamble by 9am is likely to be difficult, you are welcome to stay on the yacht the night before for an additional ÂŁ20. Accommodation is in shared double cabins, though if fewer than 3 people request this option you may well have your own cabin.
First time sailors may wish to [take a look at our list of FAQs](https://www.londonsailing.club/Cms/Spaces/DEFAULT/FAQs+for+firsttime+sailors) and we also have a [recommended kit list](https://www.londonsailing.club/Cms/Spaces/DEFAULT/Recommended+kit+lists+for+sailing+trips).
*Yachts*
We have chartered a 37ft yacht and will sail with a maximum of six. We want everyone to have enough space and a proper chance to be involved in the sailing. If youâre new to yachting, youâll be pleased to know the boats have heating, hot/cold running water, a bathroom, a kitchen with a fridge, and more than enough electricity to charge your phone!
*Skippers & First Mates*
The crew will be led by one of LSC's fantastic and experienced skippers and depending on the level of experience on board we may also have a First Mate from the club's Take The Helm programme.
*Kit*
No special or expensive sailing kit required! Just bring practical footwear and clothing to suit the weather forecast. Lifejackets are provided. Foul weather gear can be hired locally if needed. Don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen and a change of clothes if the forecast suggests it!
If you are staying on the boat you should bring a sleeping bag and pillow as no bedding is provided. The marina has shoreside showers and toilets, so you are not restricted to using the more limited facilities on board the boat.
*Cost*
This is a non-commercial trip run on a shared-cost basis. The cost is ÂŁ90 per person (not including the annual membership fee for which you pay separately), which covers the yacht charter, fuel, marina fees, lunch, snacks, and soft drinks on board during the taster day, as well as a ÂŁ5 contribution to the club's Muck Up Fund which allows us to help skippers on club trips manage the risk of accidental damage caused by trip participants. It doesnât cover getting yourself to/from the trip or any meals or drinks on shore. We ask for the full amount up front to secure your place. Accommodation on board the night before is available separately at an additional ÂŁ20.
Note that, because this trip is being advertised via the London Sailing Clubâs platforms, any participant who is not already a full member of the Club (which costs ÂŁ24 per year) will need to join prior to the start of the trip. We're sure you're going to love sailing with us and will want to come along on more trips, but if you decide that you don't want to sail with us after your taster day we will refund your membership fee.
London Sailing Club Ts and Cs apply.
Impro In The Flesh - Informal Workshop And Jam (London)
*'It was a journey towards conquering our fears and limitations and unlocking our fullest potential.'* \- Sarah Kent\, former visual arts editor of London's Time Out
Details and bookings here:
https://imprology.com/G201469/we.shtml
Please aim to arrive 15 minutes early so we can all start on time.
Pay Forward ÂŁ30 - Regular ÂŁ25 - Starter ÂŁ20
**1\. Do I need any experience to join?**
No. This weekend is for anyone curious about being more present, playful, and connected. Impro experience or none at allâyouâre welcome. Some participants have been doing it for years, and some are just starting.
**2\. What if Iâm shy\, nervous\, or feel out of place?**
Thatâs completely fine. This retreat is built to include you exactly as you are. Nothing to prove, nothing to perform. Just start where you are and let things unfold.
**3\. Will I have to perform?**
Not if you don't want to. It's all Open Space: you only do what feels right for you. Sometimes things will be funny, but weâre not aiming for it.
**4\. Will I have to be funny?**
Sometimes things will be funny, but weâre not aiming for it.
**5\. What actually happens during a class?**
We breathe, stretch, move, play, speak, and rest. Some games are full-body and wordless. Others are about listening, timing, and presence. If it's a retreat, thereâs food, silence, laughter, and space to do nothing at all.
**6\. What should I bring?**
Clothes that you can move and rest in. If it's a retreat, shoes or boots for walking, swimsuit, mosquito repellent, allergy medication if needed and anything that helps you feel at ease. Weâll take care of the rest.
**7\. What do people leave with?**
A quieter mind. Looser body. Sharper attention. A sense of having been part of something real.
**8\. How many people will be there?**
Usually around 6 to 8 people for a class or a retreat. Enough to play, small enough to stay close. It can be much more in a jam, six to 40 in our experience.
This is a journey into the heart of improvisation inviting you to rediscover the joy of play, the beauty of improvisation, and the transformative power of connection.
Through original exercises and guided explorations, you'll build trust with your partners, engage fully with your intuitions and tap into your audience's "secret wishes" to improvise compelling scenes and stories.
This workshop celebrates the courage to leap into the unknown, conjuring an environment where mistakes become gifts and collaboration sparks magic.
Whether you're a performer seeking fresh inspiration or simply someone eager to explore the art of being present, "Now or Never" offers a supportive space to practice active listening, fearless vulnerability, and the art of doing rather than trying. Imprology unique approach to improvisation eliminates pre-planning and second-guessing to empower performers with a ânow or neverâ approach to improvisation.
Come as you are, and leave with a renewed sense of freedom, connection, and possibility.

The Trauma Response Workshop Series: The Flight Response
**The Trauma Response Workshop Series: *Class Two: The Flight Response***
Trauma responses are involuntary physical, emotional, and cognitive reactions to intense, stressful, or life-threatening events, rooted in survival instincts. These mechanisms help traumatized people manage danger when they are subject to it but can become long-term, ingrained behaviors even when the individual has achieved safety.
People with Complex PTSD often experience automatic, intense, and, at times, inappropriate fight, flight, freeze, fawn, flop/fatigue, fine and flood/faint responses when triggered, as their nervous system perceives danger where none exists. In this 7 part series we will be exploring these trauma responses in depth and what we can do as trauma survivors when these activate and/or present themselves in daily life.
The second trauma response we will discuss is the FLIGHT response. The trauma reaction presents as a an intense, instinctive urge to escape, run away, or avoid a perceived threat or danger. In this course we will discuss:
\- what the flight response entails physically and psychologically
\- what makes one more prone to the flight response when triggered
\- behavioral signs of the flight response
\- when flight manifests as avoidance and procrastination
\- when the flight response becomes maladaptive
\- how to curb the fight response when triggered
\- common misconceptions about the flight response
This course will come with a companion Power Point that will be distributed post class.

Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity Schoolâs Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPAâs Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
