I seem to remember a group sailing there circa 84-88 and a show of some kind

The irony is I am spending more time in Aberdeen at the moment than Inverness. Am looking at Model Boat kits small enough to be packed in the car along with luggage, laptops, H&S Gear, notes, etc.....

You do get some strange looks when assembling a model in a hotel bar...

Also looked at your "aberdeen" club site for a while and it's not looking good these days, website not very welcoming at all, just get directed back to a locked forumll! Not very inviting these days?
