Title: Model Boat clubs near swindon or salisbury
Post by: samuel15g on July 24, 2011, 09:16:09 am

Hello to all

I had to relocate jobs some six months ago  from Nottingham to Shrivenham near Swindon. During that time my boats have been in warm, dry storage .
Now we're almost settled and have the chance to purchase a home in Pewsey... just south of Swindon... I am looking at the locations of model boat clubs in this area.
If I can't find anywhere then the model boat community will lose another member and my boats will have to be "e-bayed"..... with much reluctance.
I have some beauties from yachts to trawlers to steam..and they need to be "exercised" again.
Any advise will be much appreciated... her in doors would like to see them go.... I want to keep 'em and use 'em.
Kind regards
Terry h

Hello Korky

Apologies for not responding to your PM sooner but I am very busy relocationg , looking for a house to buy and working.
No time at all for twiddling the RC sticks I'm afraid and when I go home at the weekend my Missus wants to see me around the house... thats a nice change and she doesn't have jobs for me to do either!
Thanks for your response ..... It would appear from the overall lack of response/advise from fellow boaters that any club near Swindon or Salisbury may be few and far between.

Once I  have my boats down here with me......... thouigh my fleet will be somewhat depleted as the chap that's buying my house in Nottingham would like to purchase a couple ... I'll be back in touch for a possible natter and boating session
Thanks once again
Terry H
