Sunday sailing, Dec 2015.

Sunday sailing, Dec 2015.

This past Sunday (20th) there were the usual regulars at the pond mainly the yachtsmen,

It was a nice sunny day but deceptive with a sharp cold wind, still that's what the yachtsmen want isn't it!, the wind not the cold though!.

One Metre racing.

 

There was a couple of motorised boats there,

 

Eddie's new modern Navy boat.

and Jeff's freighter.

Well, only one more Sunday outing for the club and that's the Frostbite Sail on the (27th) the day after Boxing Day, so hope to see a few boats on the water, as in the past few years don't think we will have to break the ice this year, must be something in this global warming hey!.

If you are at the lake over the Christmas/New Year period here is the opening times for the Lake Cafe, unless your better halves are still giving you leftover turkey sandwiches!.

  

After the council stating earlier in October that they wouldn't be putting any more money into the park, they seem to have changed their minds and the quiet of the park as been scattered this past week with the sound of chainsaws as they have been thinning out the bushes and undergrowth along the paths round the lakes, and though it looks a bit bald at the moment it will settle down I'm sure!.

Well that's it for now, hope to get a few more pictures on Frostbite day, if not I'm sure Mike's hot soup and mince pies will make up for it and I can always get some pictures indoors hey!.

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!.

One of Al the Comm's nice builds

3rd December 2015.

A cold and windy day at the lake but didn't deter the regular Thursday crowd!

Gone to the Pub??, don't think so, more like the Cafe for a hot drink and a Sausage buttie, is your boat here?.

Eric's Model Slipway 10 hatch coaster.

Nice mover as are all Model Slipways model's!.

A new bench put in the other day in front of the Yacht Clubs landing stage, think these are by private subscription as the Council don't seem to be putting much in the kitty these days though are quite happy to take our yearly fees aren't they!.

 

The recent bad weather has certainly raised the water level in the river and as you can see its quite rough down there.

Wet Thursday,Nov 2015.

Wet Thursday,Nov 2015.

It was a windy,wild and wet Thursday for the TT Lads this week (Tuesday/Thursday) 

There were the usual team there but as you can see from this picture some were in the clubhouse for lunch.

  These three were headed to the Cafe for a sausage buttie break and even though the prices have gone up this week it's still worth it in this weather and it's not looking as though it's going to get better any time soon!.

It was nice to see Bob on the right there, back after his trip to the hospital, even after his slight stroke, he looks better that the other two doesn't he!.

Don't forget to get out your photo's taken at the lake or perhaps at one of the shows during the year, for this years photo competition at the next club meeting!
