What an absolute travesty, the wild life fraternity seem always to have the councils support, although I am in support of wildlife issues I sometimes think it is taken to extremes to the detriment of other equally important issues. I am currently having wildlife V model boats sailing issues in Leeds, we can only keep battling on, don't give up.

The Torbay club no longer exists, the club had trouble with a rogue swan who had made its home on the small pond and was rather aggressive towards members of the public and damaged models being sailed on the water. Council were not interested in removing the problem and members started to disappear, some joined the Exeter club who sail up in the Teign valley at Canonteign Falls. Sailing on the larger pond at Youngs park is possible out of season or after 6pm during the season because of the pedal boats not operating. I don't think the council can ban the use of models on the ponds as it is a public park and signage would have to be in place. it was purpose built for the use of sailing model yachts in the 1930's.

I have recently had a stroke which has taken away from me the ability to live life as I use to. I have plans for a one metre length model radiod control yaught and intend to build it if I can join a club to share these interests with. I live in Dartmouth but because of my stroke am unable to drive. Can you accommodate me.
Regards John
