Rob Wood, General Manager at Willen Lake, commented: “It’s vital that people stay safe when in and around water, and events such as these are a great opportunity to involve and engage the community on such an important issue. We hope that lots of people will head down to the lake on the 31st to learn more and enjoy some free watersports!”
The event will be hosted on the railway lawn, adjacent to the watersports centre. Booking in advance is advised for the free sessions, which are subject to availability and dependent on weather conditions.
