Nigel Vogler
Many of you will remember Nigel Vogler, who died after a long battle with Cancer in February 2023.
His wife, Sheila has recently informed the Club the she would like to dispose of some of Nigel's boat collection to Club members, with all proceeds going to the Christie Charity, in memory of Nigel.
Nigel was an expert model builder, and all of his boats were built to a high standard.
The boats offered are now listed in the For Sale section of the site, and are well worth a look.
Scale Models on the Water Display
Saturday 11 October - 1.00 p.m.
By popular request, Bob McMenemie is organising another 'Scale Models on the Water' display, featuring Tugboats, Passenger, Military, Work and Fishing vessels.
Among our membership of nearly 100 within the Club, many members must have boats which have not seen the water for some while and are crying out to be sailed.
So bring them along to the lake at 1.00 p.m. on Saturday, 11 October and put them on the water in a grand parade.
The rescue boat will be in attendance to retrieve any vessels in difficulty.
Non-members of the Club are welcome to join in, under supervision of regular members.
Bob will be filming the event and the pictures and videos will be posted on the EMBC Power Group WhatsApp forum. If you are not already a member, and wish to join the forum, send a text message to Bob on 07527 306 859.
