2016 Diary and new clothing prices

2016 Diary and new clothing prices.

Please find the 2016 diary of events and shows in the top tabs!

Also there are a number of items in the clothing section that have changed, these are not extortionate but I guess reflected by the prices we have to pay for said items from manufacturers!.

Have you checked the "For Sale" section recently or are you still suffering from the terrible weather we have been having lately, there are a few nice new entries in there!. 

We have been more fortunate that some of our friends in other clubs who have suffered from the terrible flooding of late, our thoughts go out to them and hope for a speedy return to normality.

I have been suffering from a heavy cold and bad chest recently but getting better now so will be back to the lake with the camera shortly, being this time of year though I don't think I've missed much!, though I'm sure the TT (Tuesday/Thursday) members have been at the lake well wrapped up and sailing as usual!.

Thank you all that have been asking about my absence and giving me a call at home much appreciated.

Here are some pictures of yesteryear to put you on until the better weather.

      

Geoff giving one of his excellent talks 

The arrival of the container.

A tricky bit of the new landing stage edging strip.

The strings for keeping off the geese has prove excellent and the landing stage has never been cleaner.

Bob the Builders Slo Mo 2.

The docking station.

Our stage at the Poynton Show, another good venue we will no doubt be revisiting in the future!.

A visitor to our lake recently, A Bean Goose, just passing through and checking out our beautiful venue no doubt!.

Well that's it for now, hopefully the weather will be picking up soon and we will get together at the lake in the near future!.

You know your getting old when.

The candles cost more than the cake.

The names in your little black book are mostly doctors

You sink your teeth into a steak and they stay there.

Work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work.

You can live without sex but not without glasses.

That's all folks!

Poynton Model Show,2015.

Poynton Model Show,2015.

After negotiating  the new Poynton traffic system, finally arrived at the model show to find that the lads there had certainly done the club proud on our final show of the year.

Our stand was a picture to see covering all one wall and a fine array of models of every shape and size!.

Here is a selection of pictures taken on the Saturday.

The Submarine section, checking systems before going to the pool.

Other fine models.

And even a few Sailboats, Bob Dunkerleys newly refurbished  "J" class and Two Fiesta's One Classic No58 and a more modern No523.

Ken's lifeboats.

And to show we aren't bias here are a few pictures of other stands.

 Here is Colin's son Paul who like my son is into trains!.

And you thought you had trouble getting your boat to the lake!.





Don't get many ladies in modelling hey, she was stripping down her railway engine!



If you went to the show, I'm sure you had a good time, at least it was dry there, outside it was bucketing down but it didn't put off a lot of people.
It was a fine show for our club's final showing of the year and congratulations to all the entrants and workers who made our clubs stand such a success.

AGM 2015.

AGM 2015.

 Well, another AGM come and gone and I think I can say with confidence that everyone will be glad to hear that the committee is the same as last year!.

I always say "If its not broke, don't mend it".

That could be the club's motto hey!.

Today at the lake 10.12.15 there was the usual Thursday crew in attendance,

That's how you win awards really isn't it, consistent attendance and practice.

Most of the people in the picture won one award or another at the AGM! this year!.
