Boat Judging

 Boat Judging

A reminder to all members considering entering any of the annual competitions this year.

Boat judging will take place, on the landing stage, on Sunday 30 October, at 10.00 a.m. 

We will probably not be able to use the Clubhouse on that day, so come prepared for inclement weather.


Change of Date

 Quiz and Hot Pot - Change of Date


Owing to turmoil in and around the Clubhouse caused by preparations for the Sailing Club's "Lights on the Water" event on 12 November, it has been decided that the forthcoming Quiz and Hot Pot night, originally scheduled for Wednesday 26 October, will now take place on Wednesday 23 November instead, when it is hoped that Clubhouse access will have reverted to normality.

New Book

 A New Modelling Book !

Some of you may remember that, about a year ago, the Club was contacted by a book publisher looking for a potential author for a new book on model boat construction, which they were planning to publish.

Gordon Longworth, one of our elder statesman members, took up the challenge and the resulting tome is being published in a couple of weeks, on October 24.




Gordon says: " It is really aimed at newcomers, but there may be something in there that will interest more experienced modellers, even if it is only to have a laugh at some of my ideas".

The book is published by Crowood Press, and is available from Amazon as a paperback [£ 20] or on Kindle [£18], as well as the usual high street booksellers.
