New Club 500 Boat Design

 New Club 500 Boat Design

In order to potentially attract new members to the Club 500 fast electric racing  boat series, John Senior has designed a new Club 500 racing boat, which he has published for other members to use.

As John is one of the Club's most successful racers, this should be a very competitive boat, and reasonably easy to build. The design and building instructions comprise 14 sheets of A2 [Full Size] and A4 PDF drawings which are available for free download from the Club 500 Racing page of this website. The download is in the form of a single .ZIP file, which will need to be unzipped after downloading.

Beware - EMail Scam

 EMail Scam

Several members have reported that they have received EMails purporting to be from Chris Platford, attempting to persuade the recipients to part with money.

This is a scam. Somebody has gained access to Chris's EMail address book. Delete any such EMail immediately, and do not respond.

Many of you will already know that Don Beswick, a long standing member of the Club, died recently.

His funeral will be at 10.45 on Monday 01 July, in the Rowan Chapel at Stockport Crematorium, SK2 6LS.

Don's family have invited all Club members attending to the reception afterwards, which will be held at the Alma Lodge Hotel, Stockport SK2 6EL.  If you are intending to join Don's family at the reception, will you please let John Berry know, so he can advise the family of numbers attending, for catering purposes.

Marple Carnival

 Marple Carnival

A big thank you to all those members who helped with the EMBC display at Marple Carnival yesterday.

About 30 boats were on display, of all types and sizes

The weather was a bit mixed, with occasional heavy rain showers, but we had quite a lot of interest from visitors.

Throughout the day there were boats sailing on the lock pound, with one having to be rescued from the middle by Howard M's noodle tug when its propeller got fouled by weed.

Quiz NIght Postponed

 Quiz Night Postponed

We regret to announce that the Quiz Night advertised for Wednesday 22 May has had to be postponed.

We have just heard that Mike H has been taken seriously ill, and will be out of action for a while, so it will not be possible to provide catering next week.

The Quiz Night will be re-scheduled, and a new date announced in the near future.

Apologies to everybody.
