Huge congratulations to Dell Quay Sailing Club's Environment Team headed by past Commodore Sue Nash. With the work she and the team have done over the last few seasons it saw Dell Quay become a finalist in the RYA's Green Blue initiative at this year's awards.

Great work on a hugely important topic in Chichester Harbour as well as our wider UK waters - well done Sue and Team and thank you for the work you have done!

At the same award ceremony, Dell Quay's Archie Pearson was nominated for the Rising Star category for the South! This is for a young person who has made a significant contribution to their club and supporting other Juniors around them. Archie has done a superb job at Dell Quay this year and was noted for it.... as he won! Huge congratulations Archie, very well deserved. All at the club are proud of you.

If you have kids wanting to get in to sailing, or the wider watersports arena and want to be a part of a 'Small club with a big heart' or may be have an interest in the environment or just want to hang out in the most beautiful part of Chichester Harbour, get in touch or visit www.dellquaysc.co.uk
