Sailing first began at Upper Bittell in 1918. In 1920, the lakes at Barnt Green came up for sale for £5,000 and were purchased by a group of far-sighted local people. They each put in £100 and formed the limited company of Barnt Green Waters Ltd, whose sole business was the maintenance of the property.
