MANVERS Lake is sailing to success with a new boat house annex.

Manvers Lake and Dearne Valley Trust held a community event to celebrate the opening, with members of the public, the Manvers Waterfront Boat Club and representatives from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust all attending.

The trust awarded £25,000 to the project, which was created to increase capacity and allow Manvers Lake to introduce paid for programmes for corporate and group activities.

The club’s junior members officially opened the new annex. Water activities such as canoeing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, windsurfing and more were held throughout the day.
