HI Kiz thank you for your inquiry.  We do not have tables set out for selling models on the day. You may be lucky and find that someone is looking to sell a model.  Any transactions that take place are done between the individuals and have nothing to do with the club.

Hello,
 
The weather tried very hard to spoil the days event - - and failed !!!.
Lots of boats, lots of laughing and chatting, very, very enjoyable!.
Did a test sail of my "new" 10 Rater yacht, all went very well, just minor adjustments.
Really, really enjoyed myself.

Thank you Jay Dee for your comments. Well after a fabulous week of sunshine and record temperatures it seemed that the weekend weather was all doom and gloom wind and rain. But I have to say the local forecast was spot on bright start then a spell of showers then sunshine. Pendle Steam Boilers attended showing a fine selection of copper boilers. On the day Mountfleet Models displayed their latest model the coaster Ebbrix.  Along with Kirklees members clubs  from the midlands and various parts of the north of England attended the open day displaying a fine section of steam models. Although the day is for steam models, a fine selection of scale and sail models could be seen on display. New for this year at our open days is a display on R/C military vehicles by our club members. Our boiler tester was busy all day testing various boilers  for club members and visitors alike. The day closed a on sail by of mainly steam models and some scale models and a presentation for the best steam model Rose Anne. First pictures show products  from Pendle steam boilers and some of the steam models on display more to follow.

HI All Just over a week now to our summer open day. Very busy at the moment tying up loose ends. We hope to have on site Mobile Marine, Deans Marine, Mountfleet, Scale Flags and Ensigns and may be Worner Marine. Jaydee will be showing his large model yachts along with a selection of 1 mtr yachts.  Pendle Steam Boilers may also attend. New for this year is a display of model tanks and other military models. Visiting clubs and the RNLI will be on site. If you wish to attend it would be advisable to be on site early.  We will be having a large raffle, free parking and refreshments. There are toilets in the park.  If your models are heavy, use the bottom car park and we have a trolley you can use.  All class of models are welcome with the exception of IC and high performance fast electric.  Steam is welcome, boilers will have to have up to date paperwork but testing may be available on the day.  All we need now is the weather!  :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

A few pictures of the two Fairmount Alpine's first ever sail - They were both built at the same time at opposite ends of the UK.  There's 6 years of work in these two boats  :o

We both had a little issue - mine was my transmitter failed to boot up but did eventually.  This fault has now been traced to a faulty SD card and David had to move his ballast around a little but in the end it all went very well.

HI david48 First of all we must thank you for making such a long trip to be with us. I will pass on your comments to the Goole club also. The event does need a lot of hard work but it is all worth it  and I hope I can continue for many more years promoting our hobby through our club events  and other shows away from our home water.
