Broomfield model boat club (Based in North London) are holding an open day on Sunday 24th of July 2011, all are welcome to attend and sail the event will start at approximately 10am on to 4pm or so . There will be free sailing all day, though we may need to set up slots if the need arises.
The pond is a Victorian model yacht pond with a depth of between 13” to 23” in various places , all types of model boats are welcome thought IC are not allowed due to local byelaws, but steam is allowed and it would be nice to have a bit of straight running . It is a free event of likeminded modellers with no trade stalls allowed ( byelaws again) but you are welcome to bring your own tables ,chairs and gazzbo`s.
The pond is located in Broomfield park , Aldermans hill , Palmers green , North London N13 4PT and as about 50 metres from the roadside where you may park or in one of the side streets , there is a café on the main road or bring your own refreshments .
We will be inviting the local press to attend and even Martin to try and raise the clubs profile as we seem to have more members passing away than joining ! And could do with some new members.
Looking forward to seeing you there , Paul.
