The Lake is located just north of East Grinstead on the A22 near Lingfield
and contains a six buoy Slalom course and adjustable height Jump ramp. Changing rooms are
available with showers and there are bar and restaurant facilities by the Lake, during
normal licensing hours, at the Wire Mill Inn.

The
Club operates a Ski Nautique tow boat and includes skiers of all ages
and standards from novice
through to National competitors. In view of the size of the Lake we operate a Club boat
and are unable to accommodate Members own boats or water-craft. Skiing takes place at weekends and
usually Wednesday and Friday afternoons.
|
 |
We promote a lively Club spirit and arrange Social events and Competitions
during the year.

 |
Visitors
and Guests are welcome to ski. Visitors ski in their order of arrival as part of a skiing
rota scheme; Guests by invitation of a Member, may ski in place of that Members turn. For
Visitors and Guests the Towing Fee is £15.00. Skis and Lifejackets are provided and Wet
Suits are available.
|
 |
The
Annual Membership Subscription, subject to vacancies, is £350 and for new members there
is an additional £100 Joining Fee. We also offer some Memberships for the Winter season.
The Club is affiliated to the British Water Ski Federation and Members Fees include the
annual BWSF Subscription and Accident Insurance.
|
 |
Members
and Visitors use a Name Board rota scheme, on which they place their name upon arrival,
and each person skis in turn. The Tow sessions consist of ten minutes free format skiing,
Kneeboarding or Trick skiing, six passes through the Slalom course or six ski Jumps. The
current Towing Fee for Members is a very reasonable £7.00.
|
 |
In view of the small number of Members, everyone participates in running
the ski days and the Club. This includes the general upkeep of Club premises and Lake
amenities, such as the Slalom course, Jump and Jetty. Members also organise the Social
events, inter Club and Members Competitions.

If you are interested in activities at the Wiremill, come to the
Lake where Club Members there will be able to tell you more about the
Club and participating in water skiing.
Please note that we DO NOT operate a ski booking system. You can ski in
order of arrival, numbers permitting. We can not guarantee a ski on any
particular day.
