LATEST NEWS - PHASE 2
BUILDING WORK STARTED
Now started in 2010, the Boat House phase 2 development is being fitted out and will be extended to include Boat Storage, Changing rooms, and showers including disabled facilities, First aid room, two community rooms, one dry, one wet, a managers office and a kitchen.
The Boat House will be heated sustainably using water from the lake via Heat pumps recovery systems in order to minimize both its Carbon Footprint and running costs. It is intended to use this experience to both future installers and as an example for other planned club houses.
The Site - Lake
The master plan above shows the lake with the boat house on the eastern shore.
This 50 acre, 600m long x 18m deep Lake was excavated at the turn of the century in a project funded by Yorkshire Forward and partners. The Water Quality is good and the lake hosts a variety of fish species. The Trans Pennine and the River Dearne run West/east just 200 yards from the Boat House to the north of the site.
