moorings, picnic area, covered patio, children's play area, heated clubhouse, toilets, changing rooms with showers, car parking, patrol boats and of course 25 acres of sailing water.  Members are expected to attend at least 1 workday during the year to maintain the facilities.  

Fleet and Handicap racing

This takes place on Sundays throughout the season, Bank Holidays and some 
Saturdays.  The racing, although taken seriously by the participants is friendly and traditionally followed by refreshments and a chat in the clubhouse; beginners are very welcome to join in.  

Casual sailing

This is encouraged at any time. If you wish to use club boats, please be aware that you may only use them when a patrol boat is on the water. The patrol boat service, operated by members, is normally provided on Saturdays and Sundays, from April until October, whether or not any races or other events are taking place.  During the winter months cover is only available during morning racing on Sundays.  

Family racing

This is usually organised for members on Sunday afternoons.  These races are designed to encourage the sailor with little or no racing experience.  The atmosphere is extremely relaxed and friendly and you do not need a detailed knowledge of the racing rules to start.
