Bewl Valley

Not sure if we're talking about the same bloke but a director of some of those companies is also involved with "Bewl Holiday Homes LLP"

I live down the road and as far as I'm aware apart from the odd cottage there are no holiday homes there....yet.

Didn't something similar happen to Melton Mowbray SC

Edit:
A director of "Bewl Holiday Homes LLP" is also a director of "Kent Attractions LLP" this company owns "Bewl Water Boating" the current Landlord of BVSC

I am horrified at some of these costs. My Old Farts Membership costs me £100 if I get discount for two work parties. This includes a berthing fee and £50 to the Canal and Waterways Trust, British Waterways that was. They own the water but we own the club and land. It costs my son more money to play hockey in winter than to sail in summer.

The point I'm getting at is that you pay a berth fee even if you bring the boat on a trailer each weekend to sail it!

Originally posted by jeffers Originally posted by Pierre Think you'll find that most lease holders on reservoirs like Bewl are looking to maximise income and diversify usage. It is the name of the game these days. There certainly wont be theme parks, but the days of sailing clubs having exclusive rights and access to the water are well and truly over. Unless they own the lease or the freehold as a few clubs are doing. Or getting better defined leases that specify the max amount the rent an be increased by as well as having perpetual terms (i.e. an option to renew at the same terms).
