Scene at the lake!.

The past week as seen a good turn out at the lake, with a good selection of Tugs and Yachts.

The weather wasn't too bad, but as you can see there was two parasols up just in case!.

As stated in the previous post, there is a Charity Do on at the Yacht Club this week, on Saturday 25th and we have been asked to sail a few of our boats on our lake to support them.

Al, our Comm has been informed by the Commodore of the Yacht Club that they are holding a Charity Do on the 25th of June 2016 and asked us if we will join in by showing off our modelling skills with a show of our models on our lake on the day!.

This is a chance to show off your best models and answer the usual questions by Joe Public, ie how much is it, how fast will it go and how long did it take to make it?.

So if you are like me and enjoy answering these kind of questions and perhaps swell our numbers with a few well chosen answers and telling them that its only £25 per year and you can sail  everyday!.

Thank you, All for coming to sail.

See you all next month David Lee.

On Saturday, the previous day there were a couple of sailors on the landing stage!, Steamboat Bill and his mate with their nice models!.

Think I've mentioned before that he made this nice model out of an old copper boiler, model boiler in the boat too, when the whistle blows it sounds like a traction engine passing!.

See for yourself!.

Gives you some idea of the scale of this one!.

That's all for now folks!.

May at the lake in Etherow.

May at Etherow Model Boat Club.

Not done much this month on the site, but I fell foul of the Nasty Tricks with Windows Ten!, its been in the news that Windows changed the X in the top right hand corner of the box asking if you wanted to change to Windows Ten!. normally if you clicked this box it meant you didn't want it, but Windows had changed it to mean you did!!.

I found out that if you acted within the month you could change back to your old system which most people were used to, which I managed to do with the help of my Son John, who is the other moderator on the site here, thankfully!.

Anyway if you have any problems contact me and I will try to help, but the free Windows Ten ended at the end of May so if it's not happened to you by now you should be safe.

On to pleasanter things, plenty of sailors visiting the landing stage and the weather picking up a bit now!












On YouTube.

As you can see on the video the weather has picked up in the past few weeks but with it seems, alternate days of good and bad weather, though at this entry it seems to be getting slightly warmer!.

Will try to keep it more regular this month.

Happy sailing to you all.
