Whilst in the park on Tuesday, found these boats being sailed by members in the nice hot sunshine. Though there wasn't much wind for the yachts everyone was in high spirits with the weather, with comments like "I can decorate when it's raining" and "the grass will still be there when I get home" my sentiments entirely!.

David S's coast guard cutter, good turn of speed though only on 6Volts
Dave Lees warship USS Iowa
A nice Fiesta sailed by Andrew Spencer.
Eric's dragon force.
Last but not least a small flotilla of late arrival babies a bit further down the lake away from the hussle and bussle of the crowds.

Haydock Park Racecourse
- 23/24th Aug. 2014
Theme of this year
is Naval Vessels and Submarines
Exhibitions and shows are coming thick and
fast at this time of year, the next big one is the above show. They are a
little stricter than most so everyone needs to be aware of the procedure if
they intend to go and/or exhibit.
Exhibiting
If you are exhibiting on our club stand
you will need separate passes for Saturday and Sunday, please see me.
Boats should be delivered to the stand on Friday between 3.p.m, and 7.p.m., or
on Saturday morning between 9 and 9.30.a.m. and should not depart until after
the closing ceremony on Sunday.
Disabled
parking will need to
be applied for beforehand, again see me. Your disabled badge will also need to
be displayed.
There are a number of competitions at the
convention, all boats must have been made by the entrant. Anyone wanting to
enter the various classes, please see me for details or maps to get there etc.
as details must be submitted in advance of the show by 9th Aug.
Also I need
to have all details of boats that you intend to exhibit, I will try and get as
much as possible on club night but please contact me if necessary. Do remember
that you just can’t turn up on the day if you are exhibiting, I need to know in
advance so that I can send in their forms.
I have been
asked by the organisers to remind all members that only a pass will provide
free entrance to the show, and that only exhibitors will be provided with a
pass. Being a member is not an automatic qualification for a pass.
The show
itself is open between 10.a.m. and 5.pm. both days. Refreshments and snacks are
available on site, as are disabled facilities. Admission is £6 for adults
(without a pass), £2 for children 5-16 and free for under 5’s.
Please see
me if you need any more information or want to give me details of your exhibits
– remember naval boats or subs’ only.
