Newsletter Welcome to the Crewe & District Model Boat Club Newsletter giving you up to date information on current events and activities for the benefit of members and visitors to our club. We sail at Boundary Park Lake on Knutsford Road, Cranage, Holmes Chapel. Our Club sailings are on a Sunday from 1pm to 4 pm and additionally on Wednesday afternoon from 1pm. We are affiliated to the Northern Association of Model Engineers (N.A.M.E.) and members may present their boilers for testing and will receive NAME documentation once the test has been passed. We have abandonded plans to create a path and work on the lake surround adjacent to the jetty. Sailing model boats is an enjoyable pastime but we should all be aware that there is an issue with safety whilst at the sailing site. Please see our section on safe sailing and emergency for full details. All persons attending or sailing at Crewe and District Model Boat Club events do so entirely at their own risk The water level continues to give problems for model yachts but any prospective yachting member requiring guidance may contact Brian Clewes our yachting representative . We continue to welcome new members with their models before they apply as this ensures they are happy with our sailing waters for their model. Membership is limited to 34 so we maintain a list of prospective members and any vacancies will be offered to those on the list on an earliest date recorded basis. Please contact the Secretary if you wish to be placed on the list. Visiting modellers are especially welcome with or without their models and we will always allow them to sail their model. We attended the Militaire show on 22nd February, and the Reaseheath Open day on 16th May. We will not be attending The 2009 Middlewich Transport Festival due to lack of space, but will be attending The Malpas Vintage Machinery Association Yesteryear Rally on the 12th and 13th September and The Alsager Railway Show on the 14th & 15th November. We had an enjoyable day at the Reaseheath Festival and the model boats again gave sterling service all day. A big thank you to all who attended and especially to Richard who manned the cooking tent and provided an endless supply of tea/coffee and bacon/sausage butties! We are seeing a regular attendance of 10+ on Sundays and Wednesdays have a regular attendance of 5 and the recent fine weather has seen a further increase in the number sailing. The water level remains high and hopefully will remain so over the summer. Our monthly meetings are from 8pm on the first Tuesday at the British Legion Club in Middlewich.
