NEXT SESSION
The last lake session dates are 2nd and 9th September. (No session on Bank Holiday Monday).
The 2nd is a normal 6:30pm meet for a 7pm start.
The 9th is a night paddle with glow sticks - meeting at 7pm starting at 8pm on the water. Please bring suitable warm clothing and a glow stick.
A reminder that cars are not to be left down by the lakeside room unless you are dropping off equipment. Please also remember that the site speed limit is 5 MPH, to shut the gate after entering or leaving the site, and to be considerate when parking.
We prefer Lake payments to be made electronically for the month ahead to reduce cash handling and make Lake Nights run smoothly. Don’t worry if you can’t commit in advance as we will still accept cash or electronic payments on the night. Payment for September is due on the 2nd at £10 per person with equipment hire, or £7 with your own kit.
The pool sessions are planned to start on Monday 23rd September. There will be a kit maintenance day on Saturday 21st at the Lake to ready the kit for winter and to clean equipment and boats to be used at the Pool.

Children
- Children 6-8 can start paddling with a parent or guardian in the same canoe or sit-on-top
- We advise all children under 10s to have their parents/guardian on the water with them, but this depends on the child and their water confidence.
- Parents/guardians for all under 16s must stay onsite.
