Were getting some great practical support from the local borough council and local businesses, and have some options for alternative waters, so fingers crossed!
but a bit more history is that the club house was built by public money (the then Severn Trent water authority) in 1984, so Celtic Lakes and seized a bit of everyone's taxes to boot

Sounds like you've ended up having to deal with the sort of person Private Eye oft takes an interest in...

Can they deal with the 'killer shrimps' then? If they grow to 6'+, what the hell can they find to eat in a small lake, other than a floundering Solo sailor?

Is there any more news on what's next for the sailing club? Do you know what other venues are being considered if the club can't remain on its current water? Is there a preference in the club to move to a new lake and reform or merge with another club? There are a few nice looking lakes to the North of Leicester that might be good to form a new sailing club on if you could get permission such as Cropston Res or Swithland Res which would only be about 15 miles from Melton Mowbray.

so that asset would have moved out of public ownership at the time of privatization and ST Water presumably have 'sold' it to Celtic Lakes. NB I'm not defending CL actions, which stink! |

An interesting development is the recent prosecution of the Celtic lakes Owner John Carney (the landlord who evicted the sailing club) by the Welsh Environment Agency for illegally stocking non native fish
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-19704659 Just illustrates what sort of person we had to deal with, he denies it yet publishes pictures of fishermen catching them on his website |

So is the club in limbo or carrying on as normal?

The club is currently in talks about another water, which is optimistic. But we'll have to see how many members we've kept

Is there any more news? Are you able to say where your hoping to move too? I keep looking back here and on the clubs twitter account but there doesn't seam to have been any updates for a while.

the key thing with fishing rights is that if you can get them get them and manage them to the advantage of ALL water users ... if the water is reasonably stocked and the fisherpersons made aware that part of the reason the water is there and successfully managed is because of cooperation of all water users ... it can be a boon in proving community use and can be beneficial from the point of view of relatively friendly pairs of eyes around the water almost 24/7 ... from a community use point of view the more potential users you can get the better, as you run the risk if you acquire all the rights but only run sailing that people paint it as toffs only using the water for 6 hours a week ... remember when dealing with local councillors and the like all sense goes out the windows.
