The Tullet Prebon London Boat Show runs from 6th to 15th January 2012 at Excel Centre, London.  This year's show, back in January, was a great success.  Not only were we exhibiting but we also ran the public 'have-a-go' sessions on the fantastic indoor Watersports pool and assisted with the wakeboarding, which was a great addition to the Show features.  This year we are talking an even bigger stand overlooking the pool, hosting boats from RS Sailing, Topper and Laser, so please come and say hello.  You can order your Boat Show tickets online for a special price of only £14.00, but you must quote reference RW12  

The beginning of July saw 122 kids and 14 teachers from The British School in the Netherlands (BSN) take to the water at their flagship centre , Rockley Point in Poole.

BSN have been bringing over 100 children aged 14 years to Rockley annually for the past 30 years to enjoy a week of activities on and off the water. The school provides a British education for approximately 1500 students of different nationalities from ages 3-19 years.

The children enjoyed four days of RYA sailing and the final day was spent canoeing and powerboating. During the evenings a variety of activities were planned including an offshore fishing trip, a trip to the local waterflume park at Splashdown, an evening of bowling and a trip to the cinema.

The children and teachers were enthusiastic as ever and Rockley are already looking forward to next year's trip! 

The GB Women’s Volleyball Team made a splash at Rockley’s Poole Park centre with a teambuilding event in kayaks on Tuesday 14th June. The visit to Rockley was part of a week-long visit to Poole which was aimed at increasing awareness of Olympic sports and volleyball in particular across the south west ahead of the 2012 Olympic Games.

The team spent part of the week delivering training sessions to 10 schools and over 300 children across Hampshire and Dorset so the time out kayaking on Poole Park Lake with Rockley was well earned. Maria Bertelli, who currently plays professionally for Volley Koeniz and the Great Britain National team commented that it was a “great afternoon, especially the capsizing and the weather!”
