Club Info
The GP14 fleet at Midland Sailing Club is growing and improving, with an age range of young and, well, not-so-young boats and sailors taking part.
There is a competetive, but always friendly spirit within the fleet where help can be sought and advice always given, even when on the water.
Located in the heart of Birmingham at Edgbaston Reservoir, the club organises sailing every Saturday afternoon throughout the year. There is also sailing on Wednesday evenings and regular ‘Family Fun Sailing’ on Sundays.
The club offers all the usual facilities, which include a galley providing refreshments during sailing and a bar that is open after sailing.
The club is an accredited RYA training centre, offering courses to get you afloat and sailing, refresh your skills if you have sailed before, and introduce you to racing.
Directions
From the North:
Enter Birmingham on the A38(M) (Junction 6 of the M6). Leave at the second exit. At the island take the third exit and follow the dual carriageway Ring Road. Cross 2 sets of (crossroad) traffic lights and follow the Ring Road round 2 further islands. Go across another set of traffic lights and straight on at the next large island. At the (5th) island, take the 3rd exit into Icknield Port Road – signposted ‘Edgbaston Reservoir Watersports’. The sailing club entrance is approximately .25 miles on the left – just after the Centennial Centre – and there is a signpost just before it.
From the South West:
Leave the M5 at Junction 3 and follow the A456 Hagley Road towards Birmingham. Follow this road around 2 islands to traffic lights at a major crossroads. Continue to the lights at the next crossroads, where the dual carriageway ends. Drive along the Hagley Road past several sets of lights to the large Five Ways Island – do not take the underpass! Take the first exit at the island and continue to the next island, where you take the second exit into Icknield Port Road – signposted ‘Edgbaston Reservoir Watersports’.
