Sorry to hear that, I imagine you were quite a strong group that gave members and public a lot of joy through the years.

All the best for the future and I hope you will find some venue suitable, if only for limited numbers.

No problem Roy, I took it the right way. Council provision for traditional hobbies is next to zero. It's leisure centers or cycling for people today or "on your bike" for the likes of us!

Sadly , after 30yrs the water has "dried up" and the Hinckley and Bosworth Model Boat Club club has had to dissolve. It's final sailing venue was at Burton Hastings Fisheries UK where the owners decided that they no longer welcomed either fishermen or model boaters. Attempts were made to seek alternative venues but none came to fruition.
For those in the area that still want to sail I would recommend the Kingsbury Water Park Model Boat Club near Tamworth UK where all boats can be used and has a very active calendar. See website for further details. It's so sad that our hobby is so poorly supported and that there are only a handful of hobby shops left 😔
