About Us The North Wales Cruising Club was founded in 1928 for yachtsmen and boat owners who enjoy sailing to the beautiful anchorages and marinas of Anglesey and the Irish Sea. Events are arranged on a regular basis, including weekend trips to the Menai Straits and around Anglesey as well as longer trips which take advantage of the expansive sailing area to the Isle of Man, Ireland and the west coast of Scotland. The club has its own launch for ferrying members and crew to and from boats, across the harbour and to the Marinas at Conwy and Deganwy. We welcome visitors to the clubhouse which is conveniently located near the town quay, inside the Conwy Town walls and just behind the “Liverpool Arms” public house. The clubhouse is open to members for access to showers and utility facilities and to visitors during bar opening hours. The access code for the front door is changed monthly and is available to members from the Steward on production of their membership card. On the ground floor is a comfortable lounge bar, gentlemen’s toilets with shower, a washing machine and tumble drier. On the first floor is the chart room which is used for our training programme, social events and for use by members’ children after eight o’clock; a pleasant ladies’ powder room with shower and power for hairdryers etc is also on this floor. Children under 14 years of age are welcome at all times but are requested to use the chart room after 20:00. Dogs are also welcome before 18:00 but only if on a lead. The club has a great social scene and events include weekly quiz nights (Thursdays) and a music night on Fridays as part of the extensive programme of traditional and modern social evenings. 4
