Thank you for the postal code !!! Many, many members on this forum just assume that other readers carry a map of the UK in our heads. In fact, we hav no idea where many of those clubs are located outside of your capital cities.
At a garage sale last weekend I picked up an atlas..."Complete Atlas of Britain", said to be the 1990 edition with "new computer mapping".
This shud be very handy as I read UK members posts.
At the same sale I picked up this diminutive Clyde Puffer. Its a part of the THOMAS locomotive toy series.

To find us, using the postcode LS19 6EQ, look for the farm track where Larkfield Road and Canada Road join up, at the top of the hill.

There has been a model boat club on Larkfield Tarn since the 1930's. 

The tarn was built in the 1820’s to provide water for a nearby textile mill but the lake is now owned by Rawdon MBC.

We sail all classes of model boats, Scale, Sail and Fast Electric, on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday mornings from approx. 09:30 until the last keyholder calls it a day!

We also have dedicated Yacht Racing days on Tuesday and Thursday from approx. 09:30 onwards.

You will be sure of a warm welcome at our friendly clubhouse where we have a kitchen, WC’s, workshop, lots of boat storage berths for the bigger model boats and a comfortable social room. But the best view of the lake and the action is from our plentiful outdoor seating.

Tea and coffee will be available! If you come on Sunday morning the Kitchen volunteers make brilliant bacon butties!

Please note, ICE and Fishing are not allowed on the lake.

For more information about Rawdon MBC please email "rmbcmembership@gmail.com”.

Find us on Facebook. “Rawdon Model Boat Club”.
