sorry Bill the news is not positive.... its a great country park with a big open lake, loads of room , - its a free water ( ie you dont need to be a club member to sail, just turn up, use the frequency peg board and sail ) - but no IC allowed - due to bylelaws-

but your always welcome with your fast fisher !!!

Post by: Guy Bagley on January 11, 2012, 02:53:13 pm: not to mention the price tag, estimated 32 billion pounds.....
to get to b'ham 25 mins faster... is the time saving worth the cost... and lets be honest, if its currently estimated at 32 billion, it'll end up actually costing 70 billion ! >:-o
