Frequently Asked Questions
Please have a read through our frequently asked questions before proceeding to the Contact Us page.
| Q | Do you need to book in advance? |
| A | No... you just have to come to the lake when we're open and put your name on the list. |
| Q | It's my first visit to the club. What should I bring? |
| A | You only need to bring a swim suit and a towel. Wet suits, life jackets and skis/wakeboard will be provided. |
| Q | Can I book a time when I can ski? |
| A | No... the club operates a first come first served list system for members. Visitors are welcomed and will be fitted in to the list around the members who have priority. |
| Q | I'm a visitor can I just turn up and ski? |
| A | To avoid disappointment it is advisable to telephone the club and determine the length of the list. At club opening times there is a higher chance of getting a ski within a reasonable time. |
| Q | How long will I have to wait? |
| A | It’s hard to say as it varies on any given day, it all comes down to how many other members/visitors arrive before you… Arriving at the club's opening time generally minimises waiting. |
| Q | How much does it cost? |
| A | The charges for ski tows are shown in our Membership section. |
| Q | Do I need to pay extra for a lesson? |
| A | No... Our boat drivers are always happy to help with instruction. |
| Q | How long is a tow? |
| A | A tow is 10 minutes or 8 passes of the slalom course. 10 minutes might not seem long but water skiing is a high energy sport. Skiing when you are tired is a health and safety risk. |
| Q | Can I come down with some friends? |
| A | You are welcome to bring friends. Please be aware that, if they wish to ski this will not be possible as a group. Rather, they will be slotted in to the list between members. The time taken to ski everyone in your group will vary according to how busy the club is. |
| Q | Do you offer any discounts? |
| A | No... our prices merely cover the clubs costs, so unfortunately no discounts are available. |
| Q | I’d like to arrange a corporate/group event, how do I do this? |
| A | We are pleased to arrange corporate / group events. Please see our Corporate section. |
| Q | Is there a shop on site selling water ski equipment or food and drink? |
| A | No... There is no shop. We do provide ski equipment for skiers and tea and coffee is usually available. A supermarket is only a 5 minutes’ walk away. |
| Q | Can I launch my own powerboat, windsurf or canoe on the lake? |
| A | No... for safety reasons only one boat is allowed to be operated on the lake at any time. |
