Beginner
The club says it caters for beginners, intermediates and experts. It offers beginner-friendly equipment, and its beginner course is designed to get students to the stage where they can safely go out on the water on their own and, once members, rig and use club equipment.
Training
Beginner windsurfing training is advertised as a two-day weekend course, closely supervised by RYA-qualified instructors, with 2026 course dates listed. The site says the course follows the RYA syllabus but does not grant an RYA certificate. The course cost is GBP 100, with a GBP 50 reduced retake fee subject to availability.
Taster· Unclear
I did not find current visible official website content advertising taster sessions, open days, or one-off try-it sessions.

Boat hire
The club says members can use club equipment on the lake, including beginner and intermediate windsurfing boards, sails, stand up paddleboards, and a club tandem. This appears to be member club-kit use rather than public boat hire.
