BMES at Kirklees Model Boat Club Open Day 2025
Filed under: Recent News
Kirklees Model Boat Club once again kindly invited us to their open day at Wilton Park Lake in Batley. Allen Ambridge, a recently joined member, took a few excellent photos of the event, which we’d like to share with you.
The first one shows our ‘pop-up stand’, displaying a few models, notably Allen’s Motor Torpedo boat in its carrycase, and sheltering a few members from the scorching sun (not often you can say that in Britain 😊). It was good to see a few members join us throughout the day.
Photo 2 shows Bryan Roebuck’s Harbour Patrol boat, particularly poignant after his recent death.
As well as a few local societies, Kirklees invite a couple of suppliers, the one next to us being H A Kits:
Photo 4 shows some of the excellent boats on Kirklees’s own stand.
But the most impressive models are those on, or in, the water, with photos showing a lifeboat, battleship and two superb submarines.
It was an excellent day, with a good number of visitors. Our thanks go to the Kirklees club for their hospitality and opportunity to promote BMES and to enjoy the many and varied, superbly built, marine models.
