River Marshall
The Club has been offered a model of a River Tug Boat, free of charge to a good home.
Roger Quick, who made the offer says:
The model was hand made by the late father of my wife about 40 years ago. We do not intend using it but would like, if possible, to see it go to a model boat enthusiast. It does float and has a battery motor inside the hull. There are one or two bits, like the starboard side light and a life belt, that need sticking back on. If you or any members of your club would like to have it, we would be glad to give it free of charge.
Anybody interested, please contact Mr. Quick directly at rogermquick@yahoo.co.uk
