It is important to pre-book your site in the Country Park through the Visitor Centre.
Please use the right-hand side of the park - beside the hedge that runs parallel with the road.
With effect from 26 March 2006 the main gate will open at 0700 hours and close at 2000 hours.
If you are outside the gate when it closes, there is no vehicular access until it opens again in the morning! Please do not knock at the adjoining houses - they can’t help.
The fee for camping is £3.50 per unit per night and must be pre-booked with the Rangers/Visitor Centre.

Many thanks to Ray and Nick for giving a very successful teach-in day at Draycote, despite the lack of wind. We all learnt a lot, both on the water and the land, and our chandler's takings must have significantly increased. We put it all to good use on Sunday in some strong winds and impressed some non Sprint sailors, so hopefully we will be able to expand the fleet!

Thanks again.
