The volunteers are on-site from 8am on operating days and are happy to explain what they do, sailing starts with customers at 10am. Testwood Lakes Sailability is a volunteer-run charity that provides dinghy sailing to any person with a disability who is over 8 years old. They operate out of the 4th Eling Sea Scout HQ at Testwood Lakes Totton. Sailing is on Monday (Not BH) and Thursday from April to the end of October. They are always on the lookout for new volunteers to do a variety of roles not just sailing. These roles vary from Receptionists who welcome the sailors, people to look after the sailors, tea making, furniture moving, tent erecting, assisting sailors into and out of the dinghies, ensuring that the operation is safe and of course the on-water activities of sailing dinghies and the safety boats. It is now February and preparations are well in hand for the new season. For some of the volunteers that includes First Aid Training. Then a few take on the dirty job of cleaning the pontoon followed by checking that the dinghies are in good order for the new season. In March they will have some training and refresher sessions for all volunteers so that everyone remembers what to do after the winter break. The new sailing season begins on Thursday 4th April, they are looking forward to receiving the sailors back to the enjoyment of sailing.
