Members visiting Buxton, 2013

I got this email from Bob Abell our roving reporter the other day.

Bob Abell.

I was idly browsing through the model boat pages on YouTube, yesterday, when I came across a familiar looking model

I looked and looked again and realised it was a model that I had made, a few years ago of Sandy Cousins Britannia!

I looked again and spotted Steve Bradbury, the chap I had sold it to

The main reason for this posting, is to highlight the professional manner in which the video was shot!

The waterline film must have been shot from a floating camera, skilfully controlled

Note the sharp focussing and camera control.........Very unusual and interesting

The music is also very fitting......Congrats to the cameraman, much appreciated

Well done Steve

Bob

Nice to see our members getting around to other clubs in the area, nice one Steve and thanks for bringing this great video to our attention Bob!.

Fiesta Report 1.9.2013

Fiesta Report 1/9/13 Hi to all. Weather OK just a bit dull, but we  had wind for a change?. We had eleven races in all.  Six turned up to race, Bob and George had Fiesta problems and had to drop out. So in the end only four Fiesta’s finished. Thanks for all coming. Trevor Redford came  1st, Terry Miles 2nd, David Lee 3rd, Tom 4th, Bob Dunkerly 5th. See you all next month. David Lee.

Thanks for the report Dave.

The weekend of the Haydock show,  we had a visitor at the lake as my guest that some of you will know or recognize, as he was a member of our club for many years before emigrating to Wales!

This is his latest project, which if I remember right was a kit with a lot of modifications.
