Outdoor Club Night, 25th June 2014.

Outdoor Club Night, 25th June 2014.
For a change it was decided to have a earlier BBQ and outdoor event rather than wait until it was cold and damp later in the year, had enough of that up to now haven't we.

John doing a good job as always in the bar, trying to fit in a sail as well!.

Doesn't look many here but the Gannett's are queuing up for the burgers  and hot dogs, the rest are sailing on the two lakes.

 Volvo man and his better half.

 Get that down your neck.

Nice to see some of the ladies in attendance, having a night off from the cooking no doubt.

Looks serious this

The highlight of the evening for me was the warship "Scarab" quietly slipping through the water and though it was built on two planks of balsa and completely flat bottomed sailed very well, even though the Club 500 racers and Bob the Builders Slo mo 2 were creating some nice swells it sailed serenely on.
Built by member Paul Blyth, who at the Ellesmere Show earlier in the year claimed a Gold and a Silver award for his Warships.

See more in the video!. 

                        

Another good night and a big thanks to Mike again for getting his apron on and doing the cooking and not forgetting his efforts in the shopping before hand as well.

Saturday afternoon at the lake.

Saturday afternoon at the lake.
As promised in the last post here is the afternoon session.
In attendance was,

David Swift and John Glynn
David was sailing nice Fishing Boat and John was sailing a beautiful Smit Nederland which you can see from the closeup here is a fine looking model and sits great on the water, you get the feel that it really can pull a big ship in to dock!.
Shame we haven't got a big barge to tow round the lake with a couple of tugs , perhaps an idea,  place to store it perhaps is the problems hey!

Anyway see for yourself in the video.
