Kirklees Model Boat Club once again kindly invited us to their open day at Wilton Park Lake in Batley.\u00a0 Allen Ambridge, a recently joined member, took a few excellent photos of the event, which we\u2019d like to share with you.<\/p>\n

The first one shows our \u2018pop-up stand\u2019, displaying a few models, notably Allen\u2019s Motor Torpedo boat in its carrycase, and sheltering a few members from the scorching sun (not often you can say that in Britain \ud83d\ude0a). It was good to see a few members join us throughout the day.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Photo 2 shows Bryan Roebuck\u2019s Harbour Patrol boat, particularly poignant after his recent death.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As well as a few local societies, Kirklees invite a couple of suppliers, the one next to us being H A Kits:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Photo 4 shows some of the excellent boats on Kirklees\u2019s own stand.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But the most impressive models are those on, or in, the water, with photos showing a lifeboat,\u00a0 battleship and two superb submarines.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
