About Bala Sailing Club
Bala Sailing Club is a seasonal club, with facilities available between 1st March & 31st October.
Solely run by volunteers, the club has a close community of members overseen by a executive committee.
We run Club Racing for Sailing, but also welcome different types of water sports like Windsurfing, Kayaking, PaddleBoarding, Swimming and Social Members. We have a number of social events throughout the year for members to enjoy.
Members renew their subscription in Febuary/March each year, for the season ahead.
