The reason for the name change is that Jersey Gold who originally ran there franchise from the site moved a year ago and they where the ones who named it the Lion park as it was set up as a charity to support wildlife overseas, being as we still have full use of the pond and the park and the owners of the land are looking for a new tenant who will probably have their own idea as to what to name the place we thought it was time to change the name of the club to save confusion for the future.
In answer to the other questions raised the other group of model boaters on the island was called Jersey model boats who had the use of a reservoir and we are unsure if they are still running as there website no longer seems to be on line ? also there was no fallout certain members left the club for there own reasons and found another place to use there boats,
Most of these members have since rejoined our club for the facilities that we provide,Clubhouse,toilet,Tea,coffee,permanent harbour,boat lift,slipway,BBQ's and a general good time
hope this answers fellow members questions and remember all visitors are more than welcome
