Welcome to MARLENS.

We are enthusiasts for Clevedon Marine Lake, determined to ensure that this seafront jewel is kept in service and used for the benefit of people in Clevedon and N.Somerset.

You should find here everything you want to know about MARLENS.  If anything is missing just ask.

Our main public events this year will be the Aquathlon (swim and run race) on Sunday 10th July, the Marine Lake Festival over the weekend 24-25th September and the illuminated night sail of model boats in December. Details will be on this web site soon.

Canoeing and sailing are taught at the Marine Lake all the year round for schools, clubs and Go4Life.

The Marine Lake hosts regular activities by Clevedon Model Boat Club, Clevedon Canoe Club Clevedon's sea swimmers and Clevedon Sailing Club, as well as visits by other groups. It is also open to members of the public who want to swim or bring their own boat (there is no lifeguard, so you use the lake at your own risk).

North Somerset is preparing a new "Management Plan" for Clevedon sea front this year, as part of their million-pound lottery bid to magnify the funding available from N.somerset Council into a sum that can make a real difference. MARLENS will continue to lobby for our Marine Lake to be repaired and improved and try to ensure that the needs and ideas of all Marine Lake users are taken into account.

It is important for a campaigning organisation like MARLENS to have members, so if you agree with MARLENS aims, please join. There is a membership form on this web site, on the AGM page.

Yours

Joe Norman

Chair of MARLENS
