    Informal and very friendly environment. Primarily a Sailing Club but many members make use of the lake with their canoes and paddle boards. Access to the river Thames as well as the members sailing lake. Individual and family memberships available. Look out for the annual Open Day in Spring where you can try out some of the activities.
