A couple of shots  of the Tow SAN GEORGE today at New Brighton, being controlled by members of Ellesmere Port Model Boat Club (among others). I can't believe how warm it was!

Hi all,
I got a 'phone call the other night from 'Poll' to say that Peter and the 'San George' will, hopefully, be at the towing event at Kingfisher Lake, Balne Moor on sunday so should be a good sight to see with all the other tugs there. Weather forecast is quite good, dry with a breeze, and bacon sarnies are on the menu as well. Sounds like a perfect day out for the last event of the year at Balne Moor.

Cheers,

Paul.
