Abbey Sailing Club committee is made up of volunteers who help run the club and organise sailing activities on the River Thames in Abingdon, Oxforshire.
We manage to keep our club membership subscriptions very low by asking everyone to chip in and volunteer towards the running of the club. We welcome any kind of help our members can give - however big or small.
The running of the club is co-ordinated by a group of volunteer committee members who meet regularly
