I took the time out to-day to go to see Hyde Sports and Models shop in Hyde as the new owner was at the club  meeting on the night of Charlie Ricardo's table top sale.

Phil Heskeith is the new owner, after a chat with him he says he can get most kits and at reasonable prices, he also has a stock of nice condition used boats in the shop for sale

ie this nice yacht , slightly smaller than my Micro magic, but at £65 ready to sail with tranny, just needs "AA batteries for power" I thought was an indication for his used stock.

I noticed that a Lead Acid battery, 6v -10amh was £9.99 . the last one I bought was £13 and I thought it was a bargain. Please tell me you know where I can get same for a fiver!.

There was a good range of props, servos,motors and wait for it thin sheets of Plywood for the scratch builders and 500 builders.

So give it a try and lets try to keep this one and only shop in the area open, depends on his prices though hey

.
