How it all started...
The commander of the Osnabrück garrison "British Forces Germany", Commander John Chaloner, who was enthusiastic about water sports, established the beginnings of the "British Yacht Club" on Lake Dümmer in 1945. The end of the Second World War was only a few months over and Commander Chaloner was looking for a pastime for his soldiers that offered relaxation and employment in an environment close to nature.
Known to many British soldiers as an important landmark during World War II overflights to strategic destinations, Lake Dümmer has now taken on a very different, more peaceful meaning.
From 1945 onwards, the British gradually expanded their involvement at the Dümmer, as the clubhouse was very popular with the soldiers. At the same time, contact with the local population and the local clubs grew. Regattas were held and joint celebrations organized. Many a Dümmeraner can report long and excessive nights at Arnings Patt.

The British Yacht Club is open year-round. On summer days, you can enjoy a wide range of cold and hot drinks on the beach area and terrace, while watching the sunset. A small bistro menu is available. The winter months also have their charm. Enjoy the changing panorama in a cozy atmosphere.
