Racing takes place every Sunday thorough out the year in a mixed handicap fleet, with both handicap and pursuit format races. During the Summer months racing takes place every Wednesday evening. The Wednesday sessions takes place in very relaxed atmosphere which is an excellent introduction to racing. The club has a numerous social events through out the year were all members of the family are encouraged to take part. "Sail-away" events are arranged to other clubs often on the coast to allow members to experience sailing in different locations and conditions.

There are also changing rooms with lockers and showers available. There's a large social area that is used through the year for lectures and training courses, social events, and as a general base for families groups supporting their family members taking part in sailing. There is good access to the building and the changing rooms are equipped for Wheelchair users. Caldecotte lake is situated to the south of Milton Keynes, just off the A5 near to Bletchley.
