New Landing Stage Benches
At long last, the new benches for the landing stage have been manufactured and delivered, and fitted this afternoon.
The old benches were well past their sell by date, and the wood was pretty rotten in parts. The new ones are steel framed with the seats and backrests made from recycled plastic. They should last forever.

Autumn Autumn Open Day - 11h September 2022
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wilton Park Batley, WF17 8JH
The theme for the day will still be Warships and military but we intend to open this event up to lifeboats and rescue vessels. You are not precluded from attending if you do not have models of this type but no IC or high-performance fast electrics. Sail models are also very welcome. There will also be an area operating radio-controlled tanks and military vehicles. Steam powered models are welcome, but we will need to see an up to date boiler certificate.
