Beginner
The club presents clear beginner routes. Adult RYA Level 1 is described as introducing complete beginners to sailing, and the club says beginners should book Level 1. Junior beginner options include Young Sailors for ages 7-9 and Stage 1 and 2 for ages 10-15. Open Day sailing tasters are described as suitable for people with no sailing experience.
Training
Wembley Sailing Club says it has an active RYA affiliated training centre offering Adult Levels and Youth Stages in line with the National Sailing Scheme. It lists adult weekend RYA Level 1 and 2 courses, junior holiday courses, weekly coached/supervised sessions, race squads, powerboating, shore-based courses, and private/bespoke training.
Taster
The club has a Sailing Tasters page inviting people to try sailing with instructors. Its Open Day page says sailing taster sessions are designed for everyone, including those with no experience, with an RYA-qualified instructor in the boat. The contact page also says the club offers adult and junior sailing taster sessions.

Prices

Exact GBP prices were not found in the reviewed visible official page text. The membership page says online subscription payment is available through an embedded WebCollect frame and the training pages link to Bookwhen schedules. The site does state some discounts: members can get up to 20% off courses, and booking RYA Level 1 and Level 2 together gives a 10% discount on Level 2 at checkout.

Membership

Official site describes a membership-based dinghy sailing club on the Welsh Harp, with racing, training and junior activity.

Boat hire
The club says site bylaws prohibit dinghy hire to non-members. Members with an RYA Level 1 qualification can use club boats for free when safety cover is available and at the Duty Warden's discretion; another FAQ says free access to club dinghies is offered to all members. This is member boat use rather than public non-member hire.
