I was only thinking about Beale Park yeterday, even looked at the Beale Park web site.  Thank you for that info, I will check with my club, we were represented last year.  A really nice day out.  I took my family.

Bob, If you let your SatNav take you to that location, you missed the entrance by a mile! Hopefully you enjoyed the day as much as I did.

It was good to see Ian's Osprey back on the water (after last year's disaster).

Great photos!

Thanks to everyone who braved a very cold start to the day  .

We had a very good turn out and the weather was actually very kind to us all day. I particularly enjoyed seeing so many steamers in action on the lake.

Looking forward to next year's event (should be Sunday May 5th 2013) so why not put it in your diaries now (what, you haven't got a 2013 diary yet!  )
