On Bank Holiday monday 31st August 2020 , Buxton MBC put on a display at Buxworth Basin in the High Peak of Derbyshire.

Ref Wikipedia - Bugsworth Basin is a canal basin at the terminus of the Peak Forest Canal. It is located at Buxworth in the valley of the Black Brook, close to Whaley Bridge. It was once a busy interchange with the Peak Forest Tramway, for the transport of limestone and burnt lime.

Was at the Spencer's pool yesterday & a Club member was running his pipe & drum model so recorded a wee bit

I finally managed to get out and do a video of SY Minnow. This was taken at Cheddar Steam Club and Jane and I were the only people there so had the water to ourselves. I have increased the displacement a little which has made her more stable in the wind. Although it doesn't look it, there was quite a breeze that day and you can see the boat heeling to the wind on occasions. I was very pleased with the mist unit as this was the first time I have seen it operate properly. I will do something about the masts being out of alignment!

Two new additions appeared at The Pavilion Gardens lakeside recently - belonging to BMBC members.
The models were - "Bonnie Lass", and " Milford Star " from Caldercraft.

The Buxton Model Boat Club sail at the Pavilion Gardens lake on Sunday and Thursday mornings - comments being - "an entertaining spectacle for all the family" and - "a Valuable asset and attraction to the town" .

Graham Royle joined the Model Boat Website last summer, returning to modelling after a 45 year break. It was a display at Buxton Model Boat Club last year where he spoke with one of the members that got him started again.

Graham who is now a member of the Buxton Model Boat Club started his latest project "Bionic Bill", only 3 months ago at the beginning of lockdown.

What resulted is truly magnificent working model example of engineering, woodworking, electronics, perseverance and total dedication ! .

Well done Graham !.
PS - Remember, set video resolution quality to HD 1080p (Bottom right cog wheel).
