Regular Clubs & Activities

because sailors don't just sail

The PYC Culture Club isn't just about special events - it's also home to a range of regular clubs and activities that bring members together throughout the year.

Whether you'd like to discover your artistic side, share your thoughts on a great book, learn a new skill or simply enjoy spending time with like-minded members, there's something for everyone. Our friendly clubs are a wonderful way to meet new people, try something different and make the most of club life, both on and off the water.

Browse the clubs below to find out more. New members are always welcome, so why not come along and give one a try?

If you have an idea for a new regular club or activity, we'd love to hear from you. Please email [email protected] and we'll be happy to explore the possibilities.

Art Club

Whether you're an experienced artist or just enjoy being creative, our friendly Art Club is a great place to paint, learn and enjoy the company of fellow members in a relaxed atmosphere.

The group meets every Friday throughout the off-season at 9:00am in the Training Rooms.

If you'd like to find out more or come along, please contact Nigel Yeoman via Club Reception.

Book Club

The Book Club meets on the first Monday of each month at 10am and the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm. Both sessions discuss the same book, so you can choose whichever day suits you best each month.

We read one book a month, throughout the year, with a good mix of genres. It's a friendly, informal group where everyone is welcome, whether you're an avid reader or simply enjoy sharing thoughts over a good book.

If you'd like to join either the Monday or Tuesday group, please WhatsApp Megan on 07305 632953.

New members are always very welcome.

Bridge Club

Bridge is a wonderfully sociable game that also provides plenty of mental stimulation. Whether you're a seasoned player or looking to get back into the game, you'll find a friendly welcome at Parkstone Yacht Club.

The club meets every Thursday at 7:00pm, alternating between Chicago Bridge and Duplicate Bridge. There are no attendance fees, and coaching can be arranged for those who would like to develop their game.

If you're interested in joining or would like to find out more, please ask at Reception.

Ladies Lunches

Ladies' Lunches are a wonderful opportunity to enjoy good food, great company and an interesting guest speaker in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Held on the first Thursday of each month throughout the off-season, each lunch includes a delicious two-course meal followed by a talk. Details of upcoming dates and speakers can be found on the Culture Club Events page.

Please book your place at Reception. New faces are always very welcome.

Making Music

Whether you're a seasoned musician or have never played with others before, Making Music is a relaxed, friendly group for anyone who enjoys making music together.

All ages, abilities and levels of experience are welcome. Bring your instrument, your voice or simply your enthusiasm, and enjoy playing with fellow members in a fun, informal atmosphere.

If you'd like to find out more or come along to a session, please contact Steve Town.
