Mark,
I contacted the Daily Post the day after their article via email, however, there was no reply.

interestingly enough there is no real mention of this world class windsurfing venue which is a pity.

I guess the timing is _base_d on the frequency of walkers without consideration of lake users.

Does anybody know what the sailing club take is on this issue as I guess they may have a bit more leverage.

I am sure they have similar thoughts to us on the opportunities for expanding the lake as well as the timing for closure?

Cheers
