Blackpool & Fylde MBC sail at Fairhaven near St Annes but the terms of our licence with the council forbid I/C (its a nature reserve)

double standards as per usuall and just show the ignorance of them to be honest,im sure the dragon boats they run there with drums banging all day frightens the birds more than any ic or petrol powered rc boat will ever do  ::).

The Dragon Boat do was probably a one-off, but come around for a look on Sunday June 10th for the 4th Annual Classic Boat Rally.
