For families wishing to take up an activity that will embrace all ages, HISC offers fun and engaging water-based events for toddlers through to adults, a special Women on Water initiative as well as an exciting and competitive dinghy racing and cruiser scene for anyone willing to give it a go. The club has an extensive hire boat fleet of over 30 boats to make access to the water as easy and hassle-free as possible; everything from children's boats to family picnic boats and brand new racing dinghies are available to rent for the day.

HISC is waiving its joining fee to anyone who signs up for membership before 4th June 2018 offering a one-off saving of £350.

Commenting on the announcement, David Nicholls, Chair of HISC Membership Committee said, "HISC is a very special and welcoming club offering water-based activities for people of all ages and abilities. The club has exceptional facilities and opportunities for families, individuals and young people in terms of life skills, peer groups, support and friendship.
