Hi guys I now live in Farringdon Oxfordshire used to be a member off swindons model boat club but wondered if there was any other different clubs near Farringdon and Swindon others than Swindon model boat club for my own reasons I don't want to be part of Swindons club thanks in advance

I did sell quite a few last year. About 20 I think. Then within 2 months 3 people gave me another 30 boats plus loads of bits and pieces. I collected some more bits last week but no boats.
I think the tally is now 12 yachts, 5 subs, 6 hovercraft 2 lifeboats, 27 naval vessels, 6 fishing boats, 5 cargo, 12 tugs, 6 fast electrics, 4 river cruisers, 3 aircraft carriers, and about 17 hulls.
200 motors, a box full of couplings, 20 odd spwed controllers from modern to rheostat type.

All fine here. Refurbishing and old yacht at the moment . Takes time sanding back everything though.
