Hi Guys,
There is a fantastic, relatively new club not far from Waltham Abbey...Fishers Green Sailing club, Model Boat section. Wonderful waters, two great, clean, weedless lakes, proper clubhouse, toilets, showers and bar. Also totally private (need a key card to get in) Parl and sail from your boot....A boaters dream. They are 'recruiting' at the moment. Contact details are available if you need them.
