Hi everyone just under a month to our first open day of 2015. The open day is a fun day for all to enjoy come along sail your model or models or just chat to fellow like minded people. Car parking within the park area is free but this tends to fill up very quickly. Toilets on site at the new building in the park. Trade support this year we hope to Deans Marine, Mobile Marine, Scale Flags, Worner Marine, Leeds Large Scale Models, and may be Adrian's Marine Figures. We also have clubs from the north of England and other regions visiting us. We also run a large raffle on the day we sail most types of craft but no IC or very high performance fast electric models.

Hi Guys our Open day is just 2 weeks away I have spent all morning sorting out raffle prizes. We hope to run club 500 races on the day, a competition for best tug model open to all, best Kirklees model boat on display. Around 2pm we try to have a large number of models on the water of all types. The new docks sections will also have their first outing. See above comments re car parking all we need is the weather to be kind to us.

Morning Ballo, Wilton park has a few entrance's. Its post code is WF17 8JH. The entrance's you need to use are on Bradford road. Opposite the park on Bradford road is a Motorsport book shop its post code is WF17 8HZ using this one will get you to the correct side of the park.
