In February 2003 an inaugural meeting was held. Twenty-eight individuals turned up and twenty-two expressed an interest in joining a Model Boat Club. We elected a Chairman (Mike Legg); a Treasurer (Mike Gaffney); a Secretary (Derek Nelson) and two committee members (Pete Munday Snr & Pete Munday Jnr).<\/p>\n

Over the years the club has grown and developed. We now have over seventy members – a Club House, Toilet and Bad Weather Shelter.<\/p>\n
