They will be taking part in the Jet Ski Championship event and spectators will be able to watch free.

“It is great for competitors to race at a local venue and for the spectators there will be World, European and British Champions present, sit down and stand up riders, the Super Start class and other classes competing in the Park."

The hjet-skiers will be practising on the main lake from 12 noon to 6 pm on Saturday, May 5. The actual competition will take place from 9 am to 12 noon to 6pm on the following day.
