Poynton Show 2014.

Poynton Show 2014.

The Model Show – Poynton Leisure Centre, Yew Tree Lane, Poynton, Cheshire SK12 1PU

Sat.6^th and Sun.7^th December 2014

Following our attendance at last year’s show we have been invited back again to participate over the above weekend.

This year we have the added feature of being able to sail in an indoor heated swimming pool (a bit different from sailing on Etherow I expect) so all those with submarines will actually be able to see them underwater for a change.

This is a display for the public’s benefit who are attending the show and only those who bring boats for the weekend’s static exhibition and man the stand will qualify to sail in the pool. (Given that they are giving up the whole of their weekend I think this is only fair).

Sailing display times are; -     Saturday 11.45 – 12.30 and 16.15 – 17.00

                                                Sunday 12.00 – 13.00 and 15.00 – 16.00

As this is a public swimming pool which will be in use when we finish, can you please ensure that you thoroughly clean your boats before bringing them to ensure that none of Etherow Lake is left on the hull! I will provide clinical ‘wipes’ for your use at the pool, plastic overshoes will be provided by the show organisers. No boats will be permitted that leak anything into the water. Therefore no IC engines or steam engines.

Please remember to wear club badges/clothing etc. and if you intend to participate please let me know beforehand. As I expect this event to be oversubscribed the committee have decided that priority will be given to those who have helped out on this and other shows in the last twelve months, which again I feel is the fairest way of doing it.

If you have any other queries please talk to me.

Gordon Longworth – Exhibition Secretary.
