At noon, on April 18th, the new facilities at the Weston Bay Yacht Club will be officially opened by the Mayor of Weston super Mare.

WBYC received a grant from Sport England to add an extension to the Clubhouse for changing rooms, showers and toilets, and a training room. This work is now complete and ready for use.

At the same time, the existing areas have been remodelled and renovated to create a better space for social events and meetings.

The club is opening up its focus from a traditional yacht club, offering some of the cheapest mooring facilities, to become the home for all 'wind and water' sports in the Weston Bay area.
