When did the club start?

​

The Club was formally launched in March 2015.

​

Why did the club start?

​

To bring together model boat enthusiasts creating a pleasant social environment, and enabling members to share ideas and offer advice and assistance to others covering all aspects of model boating.

​

The promotion of goodwill and friendship with other clubs and societies within the region is an important aspect.

​

The opportunity to join a local boating club offering good facilities and location with the minimum of cost to each individual is an important part of the Club Constitution.

​

What are the ambitions of the club?

​

The Club hopes to play an important part in promoting the hobby of model boat building and / or sailing and welcome newcomers of all ages to the hobby. Help and advice will always be available from Club Members, so newcomers will have the opportunity to learn new skills.

​

The Club would especially like to extend a welcome to less able bodied persons to participate in the hobby, and having very good access to the Lakeside this would hopefully encourage disabled persons to enjoy model boating.

​

The Club will be run on a not-for-profit basis, but will offer support to various charities to raise funds by either inviting a charity group to "Special Event" days at the lake or supporting them at local events with static displays.

​

In particular we will offer our support to  RNLI (Lifeboats) and the Royal British Legion, but other charities will be welcome to ask for the support of the club.
