Venue

About Pwllheli

The UKWA will not be racing out of Pwllheli Sailing Club.

Instead the UKWA will be returning to one of its favourite venues. Abererch Sands Holiday Centre. Follow the link to their web site for further details of the site Abererch Sands.

Please do not contact the site in advance as this causes confusion. The UKWA has sole use of an event field and overnight camping will be charged at the substantially reduced rate of £21 per night. This must be booked in advance via the link on the UKWA event page.

There are a limited number of electric hook ups which will be available on a first come first served basis however you will be expected to share. Once your batteries are charged you will be expected to give up the supply to anyone else who require it. We trust people will work together so that all can benefit, but please be aware the UKWA will not hesitate to interveen if individuals are acting in a selfish manor not suited to a UKWA event.

There are ample toilets and showers on site, small swimming pool, snooker room and shop.

PLEASE NOTE; NO WETSUITS IN TOILETS / SHOWERS OR SWIMMING POOL AT ANY TIME.

The present owners hosted our previous visits and we are grateful for their co-operation in hosting our return

The beach is located off the camping area, all in all an ideal location for a windsurfing event.
