Contra dance music is a lively, cheerful, style of folk music, deeply rooted in the jigs and reels of the Scots-Irish and Appalachian old-time traditions. The fiddle is the lead instrument, supported by guitar, banjo, piano, mandolin, dulcimer and bass.
Band members include musicians hailing from Virginia’s Tidewater Peninsula and students and alumni of William & Mary.
Your contribution directly supports the W&M sailing club's operational costs.

"The Kingsmill Yacht Club" Facebook Group
Monitored by: Chris Munson and Duncan Ritchie
The Kingsmill Yacht Club is open to all "Kingsmill residents". Founded in 1976, the Kingsmill Yacht Club provides an enthusiastic group of members with a variety of opportunities for boating and socializing activities. The core element of membership is a love of waterborne sports whether enjoyed through boat ownership in the present or buoyed by memories of previous times afloat. In addition to various boating events in home or foreign waters, we organize a winter series of lectures on topics of marine interest and also summer trips on aquatic themes. Our Commodore’s Ball is a traditional feature of the Kingsmill year.
Sail Beyond Cancer (SBC)
Commodore Munson, SBC Fleet Captain and Board member, believes the Mission of SBC aligns with the spirit and values of the KYC as we are a community that understands the healing power of the water and camaraderie of a day on the Bay. Chris would like anyone who is interested in volunteering for Captains, crew and outreach to check out the local chapter at https://www.sailbeyondcancer.org/sbc-va-chapter
"Sail Beyond Cancer". The Mission is to honor those being challenged by cancer by harnessing the healing powers of wind, water and sail, and is put into action by providing meaningful experiences of relief from the challenges of living with cancer, for nominated patients and their loved ones. Sail Beyond Cancer provides a free private 3-hour sail on the York River, aboard the 41' Beneteau sloop Solace.
The private individual sailing excursions create opportunities to rebuild courage and make lasting memories.
