Club 500

The committee have decided to relax the use of club 500 type boats outside of organised races and time trials. Their use is now allowed  for testing and setting up purposes at any time other than Saturdays and Sundays. Please give consideration to wildlife and slower boats when doing so.

The ban on very fast boats is still in place.

This week at the lake was quite busy, the weather certainly brings people out doesn't it.

One of John Goddards more sedate models , nice little mover til it stopped in the middle of the lake, don't see that very often do you!

Soon got it going again and then realised he had his tranny in the boat with him!.

Then had his boat pull him back to the landing stage where I helped him out of the rescue boat, and he carried on sailing!.

No flies on him!.

Age doesn't always bring wisdom, sometimes it arrives alone.

A word to the wise isn't necessary, its the stupid ones who need the advice.

If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it!.

I have received my second complaint this year about fast boats on the lake, the last one on Sunday 26/3/17.

I will now have to revue the future of fast boats on the lake, worst case scenario would be the lease being revoked.

The committee will meet on Monday 3/4/17 where I will put my views to my fellow members on this day.

Please remember this is a nature reserve for the wildfowl, all last year I received flack about fast boats, this resulted in me having to ask a member not to bring a certain boat, not a task I liked but first and foremost I have the interests of E.M.B.C. at heart. whatever actions are taken will be in the best interests of the club.

On a pleasanter note!.

Today at the lake it was quite busy and there was a mixture of sail and motorised vessels.

A couple of the regular yachtsmen.

One of our newer members, Mark Flinn.

Al the Comm's latest build finished!, one of his fastest builds he stated!.

Where was that camouflage type used?, do you know, if not ask Alan not me!, my lips are sealed.

Earlier in the week there was Eric with his latest scratch built Schooner.

And a scratch built tug he had built a while ago.
