I got a message from Bob Abell yesterday to say.
Got a broadcast film release date at last
May 20th Sunday at 9.00....on BBC2
Only hope it meets with our satisfaction!
Bob
For those of you who don't know what this refers to, it's Bob's "Great Eastern" model that will be shown on the TV program "Coast" depicting the ship on it's cable laying trials and tribulations with the first telegraph cable across the Atlantic.
This adventure has given Bob hours and hours of fun, making the boat and then doing the alterations to turn it into the cable layer that will be shown in the program.
It has also given the club plenty of publicity on various websites, at the filming in Hoylake and the showing at Ellesmere Port Model Boat Show this March.
.......................................................................................
Also on the boat building scene!
The next club meeting of 9th May 2012.
This will be a double talk given by Peter Teal and George Barrett on their present builds,
Pete's kit built Narra Boat and George's bought hull from the same company (Riverside Models) and then scratch built as a working boat, as only George can with his eye for detail.
It will show the changing scenes of the narrow boat from working boat to leisure craft.
This is a preview of Pete's boat, not seen George's myself yet!.
