August Bank Holiday Weekend Sail & Splash!
Published 15:45 on 9 Jun 2026
We had an amazing time at the Frampton Fun Weekend on the late May Bank Holiday!
Thank you to Ellen, Rhonwen, and the volunteer coaches (James, Sam, Sophie, Teilo, Daisy, Eleanor, and Daniel), and numerous other helpers who made it possible.
Thanks too to the weather for being glorious (lack of wind notwithstanding), and to everyone who turned up, got stuck in and had a fab time - you made it what it was! What an incredible 4 days!
If you enjoyed it, or missed out because you were away, you'll be glad to hear that for FOSSCs 60th Birthday year, we're planning on doing it all again in August!
Friday Night (28th) we're aiming for a reboot of the Sail to Midnight - last time the wind dropped too much and many people who turned up wanting to sail decided there wasn't much point, so lets give it another go!
Saturday (29th) were planning on lots more of the fun that the Juniors (and some adults!) love - all are welcome to join in, don't be shy - we're planning classics like Boat Ball, Simon Says Sail, Collect the Balls etc - and finishing with Mast Climbing, and then onto a Board Games Social for the evening.
Sunday (30th) there will be more on-the-water shenanigans for all ages in the morning, with a Build-Your-Boat Relay, an Anagram Race and an opportunity to Rescue The Coaches (if time allows! Otherwise we may just have to leave them stranded!) Then in the afternoon there will be some more serious racing and some on-land games for younger members, a BYO BBQ, and in the evening, an opportunity to flex your brain with a free, fantasy-themed fun general knowledge team quiz. You're assured of a Kraken Good time!
Monday (31st) were planning on finishing the weekend with a morning of fun activities, including the ever-popular Boat BOV! Then some fun races are planned for the afternoon.
There will be LOTS more of the very popular rosettes up for grabs!
