Excellent show, good number of trade stands and boat clubs. A very relaxed & friendly day out. Many thanks to all who put the show on. My only very slight disappointment was that although there were many static boat displays (all very good) there were not many on the water, could have been due to the strong wind? Those that did venture onto the canal were excellent though, especially liked the RAF Rescue Launch!

Great day today
But one of the boys has had to go back to work tomorrow so has gone home. And I decided to sell the boats I brought with us ha ha.
So our stand at west wales model boats is short of a few boats tomorrow if any one wants a place to put some boats for the day that would be great
And a big well don't to Martin for working hard on the bring and buy. Couldn't move there all day

Thanks organizers,

Mate and I just returned from a full and very good day at the show.Thought it would be a washout as we drove up the Motorway from Stafford.It was p.p..p..proper raining all morning but by the time we had enjoyed a good couple of hours talking to traders and parting with a few pounds we headed out for coffee and then enjoyed a great afternoon in the sunshine watching some brilliant on water activity and a good look around the club stands.

The quality of the majority of models on show were stunning, a nice mix of subjects and very friendly and helpful club members.
The bring and buy had some cracking bargains and my mate came away with a very nice american tug of a style we had not come across before,and an absolute bargain.

The Curry stand was a nice touch but hope the poor fellow can be offered a better pitch next time.

All in all a terrific day and look forward to the next at this lovely venue.

Many Thanks to the organizers,your work is appreciated .

Will.

Hi All,
We have just returned home from a brilliant weekend up at the Ellesmere Port show, I would like to say a big thankyou to all members at Ellesmere Port model boat club for putting on a fabulous weekend and for making all our club members who attended made very welcome. It was nice to catch up will people, have a chat about various subjects and gain some very interesting information for future building.
Keep up the good work lads, we will be returning next year.

All the best
Take care
Dave Edgell.

Just arrived home after an outstanding weekend.
As has been said, a huge thank you to the team who make it all possible. We are incredibly grateful for everything you've all done.
We had a great time and can't thank you all enough for making it a brilliant visit. I owe about 6 crates of beer to people for various reasons!

We will absolutely be back next year.

Hi Guys Just put away the club stand and all my models after a very busy weekend. Loads of questions over the weekend and a huge amount of interest on my Boothbay Lobster Boat and also the use of LEDs for lighting. Lots of interest on all the models on our stand, and our junior member got a lot of interest with her Disney Castle boat and interest in her diorama of the Titanic. Big thanks to the organizers.

Hey Stan, sorry I didn't manage to catch up with you, you were away from the stand when I came up to say hello! Still a great weekend, ran my typhoon without losing it so that was a bonus!

We visited this boat show on the way back from N. Wales and must say were not expecting much, how wrong we were it was fabulous, the venue is worth a visit regardless of the model boat show and the models from various clubs were excellent.
Would have benefited from a few more trade stands but having said that there were about 10 or 11 and I managed to spend my pocket money

Will definitely put it in the diary for next year. Great show.

Just recovered from our drive home. And early morning start back in work today
A massive thankyou to all the organisers and Martin down on the bring and buy table for all your hard work.
An excellent show as usual. Ok admittedly not as big as other years I have been but still a great show
From me and all at west wales model boats who attended thankyou !!!
And sorry our stand was so small
Rather than displaying models I put most of mine on the bring and buy ;-)
See you all next year hopefully
