The usable lake is effectively an 80 metre circle.

I have seen the old lake but not the new one. From what I've read it sounds exciting.

Is it big enough for fast electrics eg Proboat Blackjack 29s and Voracity etc.

Boaty

Our weed control is multi-layered.

Our lake is kept filled by ground water from the surrounding hills, it enters the lake through a specially created reedbed that is being allowed to develop naturally. The habit captures the silt from the ground water and the new habitat feeds on the incoming nutrients which reduces the ability of weeds to grow.

The lake itself is protected by high TEC ultrasonics which destroys algae etc at cell level as it forms.

Of course the swans and ducks eat any weed that gets past all the other defences.

Thanks for suggesting grass carp, that's now first reserve!

Get some grass carp in as soon of possible to keep the weed down 👍

Shame about this years regatta, but what an opening year 2018 will be, if you can give early warning on the date i will be there, good luck with the rest of the renovations, you are making fantastic progress

The dinosaurs went a good few years ago and we have just scrapped the remaining paddle boats.

No Regatta this year, our old lake may be empty by then and our licence for the new lake is still a work in progress.

This year is all about completing the move and settling in.

glad to see that big lake will be back in use, I'm not that old, and remember the paddle boats there, then it all fell into disrepair. I take it the dinosaurs have moved out of the new club house!
I take it general parking is either infront of the old bike rental building (from the prom) or up at the swimming pool at the top of the hill? Will this years mayors regatta be there? maybe I can bring my avatar picture some time!😊

Looking great, hope to be visiting in May

Today we started the ground work for our move to Llyn Eirias. The first two of 8 purpose built benches were concreted in place with the rest following as soon as possible. in the background is our centrally heated clubhouse, complete with full kitchen facilities and toilets. As you would hope, it is all disabled friendly. We are also working hard to fit out the lakeside boathouse with storage racks and a workshop.

It is a huge improvement on the facilities we had at the old lake with it's open sided shelter and a small toilet once used by the gardener.

Access is from the promenade, turn up the hill. The correct road is opposite Porth Eirias.
