Dear Skier,
We are only two weeks away now from the 2024 National Waterski Championships and with entries now completed the final schedule for the week has been developed. The high number of skiers entered has meant that we need to start at 7.30am for the first four days but even with this early start we will have long skiing days.
The schedule has been structured so that the 35+ events are completed on the Friday allowing many skiers to leave for the 35+ World Championships in Spain which takes place the next week. The schedule can be downloaded here:

Another consequence of the high numbers of participants is that the Youth Festival competition will now all be done on Wednesday 28th starting at 12.30 and taking place during the afternoon and evening. A briefing and T Shirts presentation ceremony for the YF will take place at 11.00am by the FoT gazebo with Dush Lukic.
On the Thursday morning the YF participants will be offered free training activities on the back lake and a special reduced entry fee for the Aquapark.
So, it is going to be a very busy 5 days but we have ordered perfect British summer weather with a gentle headwind.
Food Options
The Boathouse Café will be open every day from 10.00am until 4.00pm. The Aquapark now has a Food Truck which will be available.
The famous Hazelwoods Fish and Chips trailer will be on site for the Friday evening and a Pizza truck for the Saturday evening.
Watch out for an email from EMS giving more details
