The sunbathing lawns are maintained to a high standard and are indeed sun traps. Here members can make the best of our wonderful Ribble Valley sunshine. There are two main sunbathing areas, one to the front of the swimming pool and the other a boarded area by the mini-ten court.
The camping area is flat with regularly mowed grass, and is equipped with two electric hook up points. The field is large enough to take 12 pitches.
The indoor swimming pool is totally covered and insulated. Water temperatures have been recorded of 30 degrees C during our long summer months. The water is filtered and kept spotlessly clean.
The sauna is an integrated part of the pool building, with a relaxation & changing room and a hot or cold shower. This is a warm sheltered haven even in the coldest of weather.
The toilet and shower block stands conveniently close to the clubhouse. There are two ladies and two gents toilets, each with wash basins and mirrors. There is a shaver point in the gents. Within the building is a separate shower room.
The clubhouse is a regular meeting place where members can enjoy a drink in a very social atmosphere. There are facilities for playing table tennis, snooker, pool and darts. The room can comfortably seat the members for the regular social evenings, including discos, quiz nights and games evenings. The bar is open every Friday and Saturday night throughout the season. The well stocked bar serves a wide range of drinks both from the optics and the pumps. Draught bitter & lager are always available. Wine is sold by the glass or by the bottle and all bar proceeds go towards the maintenance of the club.
The modern well furnished kitchen is also part of the clubhouse. With two washing up sinks, three cookers and plenty of workspace and fitted units, it is a chef's paradise. All cooking utensils, crockery and cookware are provided. The kitchen is for the use of all members and visitors.
The mini-ten court stands alone in a very pleasant setting. Spectators can bask in the sun whilst the more energetic play. The net can be altered quickly to a higher level, to play volleyball. The members hold regular visits to other clubs in order to compete and likewise we play host to other clubs.
Petanque is catered for on a separate court close to the swimming pool and sunbathing lawns. Once again these games give the members the opportunity to visit other naturist clubs and meet like-minded people and compete against them.
The barbeque Regular organised barbeques are held in the summer for members to get together. It is available for the use of all members at any time.
There is a woodland walk over the bridge and across a tiny stream beyond the site. These woods are part of the private land owned by the club. There is an abundance of wild life within the grounds of the club. Squirrels roam freely among the chalets, a huge variety of birds is ever present. Tree-creepers, Nuthatches, Woodpeckers, Sparrow-hawks and Owls are among the less common visitors to our woodland.
