Quenington Fete 12th May.

Seven members attended this event. We all enjoyed our day and were very well received by the event hosts. A superb site with a very good turn out from the public who were amazed with our exhibits. There were lots of interesting questions to answer and we were kept very busy.

There was plenty of sailing on the swimming pool with many on lookers, including several very excited dogs who had lots of fun chasing the boats around the pool.

Our hosts provided us with tea and cakes through out the afternoon. A really good show which hopefully we will be invited to again next year.

Our Club Open Day took place on the 10th June at Coate Water. Our normal sailing area was covered in weed making sailing impossible. Several Members sailed on the main lake which was fine. A good display of static models created plenty of interest. We all had a nice relaxed enjoyable day with good weather.

Tetbury Show 12th August.

The Tetbury Show was supported by eight club members. A nice collection of models were put on display in what was not the best of weather. The members of the public were very small in numbers due to the conditions.

This was probably the least number of people we have ever seen here. We all had an enjoyable afternoon and look forward to next year.
