So my father and myself dabble in a bit of waterskiing at the weekends. We gave it a miss last season due to injuries, but have been back in the game this year. I was speaking to one of the club owners, and they are happy for us to have a day down there. The details are as below:
-A freshwater lake in reading with two Malibu 4.8 v8 freshwater craft with qualified drivers, full british slalom course.
-Any ability ranges from beginners to professional
-Full facilities, including oil drum BBQ!
-Ringo/banana boat
The way the club runs it, is guests can have a morning (8am-12pm) on a saturday to ski. You can either book a half session for 10 people (so we would be sharing with another 10 people from elsewhere) or we could book a full morning session if we had 20 people.
Prices are £16 a tow. That see's you 3 times around the lake, which believe me is more than enough in one hit.
Payment would be required before we go via paypal, to secure the booking.
Any body fancy it?

I'm game either way but I like the sound of rowells idea if it's just 120 quid for all of us for the day. Will be a hell of a lot more cost effective!

Neither do i. Grant and his old man dragged me along last year and i was f*cking terrible at it but it was a right good laugh for the 1 or 2 seconds i managed to stand on the ski's lol.

I'd be up for either, depending on dates and my financial situation closer to the time!

Yeh it would be at Bawdsey Quay Watersports Centre where I work. Price is just fuel etc. Not sure I could take a million people though as it seats 5 and we would be in the watersports area a mile up river from car parking and the centre etc. x
