Lyme Park, Cancellation 2018.

If you remember the last post, you will have seen the fact that we may have a sail at Lyme Park again this year, but yet again the park has renegaded at the last minute again!.

Notice from Al the Vice today. 
Due to a last hour decision by the Park Ranger the sail at the park is off.
Al the Vice.

On a happier note you will see that we have a new rescue boat, Cyril 11.

There was a notice put on the public side of the notice board, whether  it survived the winds last night is another thing with just those two strips of tape on it.


Howard Meadowcroft giving a talk on some of the models he has made over the years, these talks are always useful as you can always pick up hints and tips on how others overcome difficulties and problems. 


When people ask me how to do things in modelling, I always advise them to join a good modelling club as there is all sorts of models and types and it would have to be someone very good to know everything in the hobby!.

If you go to Daisy Nook Country park Cafe you will see the latest project of mine on the wall.





They wanted a canal boat to reflect the canal system that used to operate from there in the old days and I offered my boat that I'd just finished.
Nice dog friendly room with good lighting and heating!
The food and drinks are good too.
Free parking!.

2nd November 2017.

2nd November 2017 already!, where has the time gone the last month!.
This Thursday was at the lake and saw that we have a new rescue boat, well new to us that is!.
David Lee and a few others were busy fitting a a seat in it whilst I was there,





Alan The Breeze was sailing his warship.

Alan, not a care in the world!.
That's Colin in the background going for some more batteries, our lives seems to evolve round them these days don't they, what with Pacemakers and in some/my case hearing aids!. 

This one will need a larger battery I'm sure!.

Then there are the One Metre's that usually run on small AA batteries with the wind supplying the power and the batteries just altering the position of the sails and rudder, little effort for so much speed.



You can probably put a face to the name but can you put a boat to the face??.
