Colwyn Bay Model Boat Club have now completed arrangements for the 2012 Mayor's Cup Regatta on Sunday 22nd July, 2012 at our lake behind Colwyn Bay Civic Offices, LL18 8AR.
All Model boat enthusiasts are most welcome to come along , either individually or with a Club and we will happily provide space for gazebos and display tables.
There is plenty of free parking within yards of the lake and there is no admission charge.
This year we introduce a new competition, - "The Commodore's Regatta Trophy" - open to any visitor who puts a model boat on display and simply completes an application form on arrival. The competition will be judged by our Commodore, John Palmer, assisted by two judges, who will be selected by the visiting boat clubs.
Marks Model Bits, Component Shop, Model Boat Bits and Mobile Marine Models have been invited to attend again this year.
Clubs wishing to reserve space for a Gazebo, or requiring further information etc should contact the Club Secretary, Alan Woodward, by email - [email protected].
Trade stands are still available by prior arrangement and are free of charge.

Is the postcode in the 2nd message correct?
Should it not read LL29 8AR as supplied to me by club sec......
I dont think you want everyone to turn up to a green field and no water !
-
Should it not read LL29 8AR as supplied to me by club sec......
Yes the postcode is LL29 8AR
-
The correct address for our main lake is Civic Centre Offices, Abergele Road, Colwyn Bay, LL29 8AR.
My earlier post was made by an Idiot - me ( LL18 is my home postcode )
Sorry for the confusion.

Is there any news on the "timetable of events" yet please.
Due to distance, Im unable to get there till around 10.30am and don't want to miss out on too much of the fun.
My Mersey Class Lifeboat wil be there, have managed to get yet another set of batteries, so can do three "sessions" .
Ok, it still not fully finished, but display events come first at the moment, hopefully for your 2013 event it will be [ha ha].
I am hoping to get at least another 3 club members on our stand too.

Used to such such a quite and pleasant day - now look at it................Organised, Traders, parade of models, being told what to do and when to sail, shouting and certain persons kicking models (their own I hope) :(( :(( :(( :((

Nothing wrong with a bit of structure to event. :-))
Without structure there would be chaos
If there was chaos there would only be Mayhem %% %% Now why does that sound Familiar 8)
-
Thanks for the timetable, I will circulate to our attending club members.
I have to agree, a timetable is always the better choice, otherwise its total chaos on the water with everything or nothing trying to get on there, plus it also allows those wanting to see the boats closeup, on their respective tables, they also know when to get the camera ready too.

We have quiet, pleasant days every Sunday, so why not pop along to one of those ?
But at the Regatta we try to provide what the majority ask for and that means some organisation is necessary.
New this year is a visitor's competition, because last year visitors asked us to introduce one.
We provide the Traders with free pitches because our members and visitors want Traders at the event. Some Traders have to leave home at 4am and don't get home until 10pm, we greatly appreciate their involvement.
The Parade of boats not only ensures everyone gets plenty of sailing opportunities without being micro-managed, but because the huge fleet creates a great spectacle, which attracts the general public.
If you demand to be allowed to sail around while SteamboatPhil and Stavros are centre stage in the lake, we can allow that - it almost guarantees a great spectacle :}
If you do decide to come along anyway, look me up and I will buy you a cup of tea and a slice of Bara Brith. :-))
-
All packed and ready to leave (I'm staying at Chez Stavros Saturday )
I have a gallon of fresh petrol, 2 boxes of matches....yup I'm ready
Looking forward to a good day

Thanks for coming, I took a few general views of the lake.
-
Today's Regatta had plenty of sunshine, perhaps a bit too much wind fort some though.
However it was great success with more Clubs attending than ever before.
Everyone is a little tired tonight, so it will take a day, or two, to get the photos online.
As ever, a huge thank you to the Clubs and Traders who travelled long distances to make the Regatta such a popular day.
-
