M62 to Chain Bar exit, pass under M62 and take Leeds road exit, through 2 sets of traffic lights, across mini roundabout to main roundabout, Fire Station on LHS. Turn right at main roundabout and left at next set of traffic lights, straight along road to Batley and park is on LHS after passing "The Scotland" on RHS.

Regards Ian.

Missed a bit Dave, After you.ve passed "The Scotland", carry on through the next set of traffic lights and then a quarter of a mile on left.

If you've got co-ords on your Nav, 53Deg 43Min 29Sec North, 1Deg 35Min 55Sec West will sit you on the island in the pond.

Regards Ian.

Hi Guys. Just got home from a excellent day. Could not have asked for better weather, cloud during the morning and sunshine after lunch. I would like to thank all our visitors for helping to make the day a success again. Also a big thank you to Sue from Mountfleet Models for providing trade support during the day. Thank you to our boiler tester who was kept busy this morning testing and checking boilers. I can confirm this event will be included in our 2013 programme of events. More information to follow in January.

Nice turnout of models again Stan. Pity about the lifeboat trying to drum up trade

but that "weathered" tug was easy to miss (or not in this case). Had an hours chinwag with the hobbit

, good day but I doubt the Megane owner thought so.

Regards Ian.

Hello,

Just got back from a very enjoyable day out at Kirklees Club.
Really good weather, boats and their owners, all in a very nice Park.
The lake was full to the brim with all the rain we are having.
I can heartily recommend a trip to this Club.

John.
