• King Lear - Fireboat/Vintage Model Boat Day: September 06, 2015

[Her in doors]

King Lear Model Boat Club would like to invite model boaters to our Fireboat/Vintage Model Boat Day on Sunday 6th September 2015 starting at around 10:00am.  We are opening this day up also as an open sail day. 

This day is in memory of one of our founder members, Terry Watson who passed away last year.  Due to the terrible weather at our Friends & Family Day in July we didn't manage to raise as many funds as we would have liked for this good cause. This is why we're now opening this day up as an open sail day.   All funds raised on the day will go the Prostrate Cancer Research as requested by Terry's widow Kath.

All model boaters are welcome for an informal and friendly event where like minded owners of model boats can get together
so bring a boat and have a sail.

There are toilet facilities in the Country Park and we hope to hold a BBQ on the day as well as hot drinks.

There are however two pubs within two miles of the Country park where ‘pub grub’ is available.

A fee of £2.50 for parking is payable to an unmanned machine, so the correct change is required.

Regards,

Just checked the weather forecast, I don't want to jinx it but I'm optimistic!

Hi all

Great day, fantastic weather, a wealth of old and interesting boats.  What more could you want?

We made £190.00 on the day plus the £134.50 we made in July, so we made £324.50 for Prostrate Cancer Research, that's what I call a result.

Thanks for all who attended on both days and raised such a great amount which I know will be gratefully received.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Marie
