Steve Glanfield has had a vision for a decade of bringing the world’s best water-skiers to the United Kingdom to stimulate interest in this exciting sport which Steve has supported for all, regardless of background, ability or disability. Steve is looking for sponsors and individual support to make this vision a reality in July 2024. Some sponsors are in place.
