It's like a joke ! removal of a model lighthouse from a pound because it's a danger as a model hit it ! And the council was involved in this decision

LOL ... Xtian

Hi All, On this matter i would just like to say that i have been in contact with the council for over a week now and we are both working together in sorting this issue out.

Yes slap the complainant with a wet kipper and tell them don't be so stupid...

I know someone

who accidentally sank a fellow members boat the other week .. So using wbc theory all models must now be banned..

The council have said they are like the rest of us and want to see people down at the lake enjoying themselves. So for the time being all i can say is things are going very well and we are all happy.

Regards Dave.

Dont want to set the cat amongst the pigeons so to speak

<*<but the light house was an accident waiting to happen

you may read this and ask why but quite simply it is only a house their is NO light on it. where was the risk assesment for the erection of this house in the middle of the pond

and I stand by my statement that submarines submerge not sink unless they are built wrong or happen to develop a hole in the side

please read with tongue in cheek

I have never heard of a lighthouse being a hazard to navigation before, has anyone else?

You just ask some Fleetwood trawler skippers...they were always running into the b****** things.....like moths to a flame.

I think Id just put another one in the lake and sod the pathetic bureaucrats. If someone runs into it perhaps they should have gone to specsavers.

Yes, and I think there's a thread on here somewhere about it. a USN carrier group were off the coast somewhere when the USN carrier captain recieved a radio message to change course. The USN carrier captain refused and advised the other party to change course as he was a full carrier group from the USN. The other party advised the carrier to change course but the captain refused and continued to order the other party to change their course.

The other party said they could not change course as they were a lighthose and said it was the USN carrier group#s decision what to do next as they'd soon run aground if they did not change course!

Not sure if this is an urban myth though!

Wirral may have removed an obstruction from New Brighton boating lake, but Conwy Council are in the process of putting a huge marble statue in the middle of the boating lake at Llandudno's West Shore !

The monument has always suffered from vandalism and is presently wrapped in an iron sphere in the middle of a small pool, now they think the adjacent 0.75m. deep boating lake will prove more of a deterrent to vandals.

I'm glad it's gone It did get in the way as did the silly round things that surrounded it. very childish really. And the water in the lake does stink as well.

LB, in Durham at present.

Definately a hazzard.

I had one attack and sink my Sea Commander in Barnes Pond when they were hatching eggs. It just sat on top of it when it ran out of fuel.

Howard Q · « **Reply #49 on:** October 18, 2011, 10:30:57 pm »

We had an expensive model sink during our tug towing last week, this was caused by mother nature blowing too hard down the lake, who do I contact to request non windy days for our Club events, we put it down to the big OH DEAR!!
