Always a great start to the new season .Really enjoyed the vast range of models around at this year's show.The increase in the number of rc trucks was a bonus for me also.I was disappointed at the small number of traders at this year's event though.Is there anything that can be done to re-kindle their support for this show.

I am not knocking anyone as I am sure it takes a great deal of work for the guys who go to the trouble of organising the show to the benefit of the whole hobby.

Looking forward to it already,your efforts are appreciated chaps!

what's the David Owen Competition chaps????

Bowwave · « **Reply #8 on:** January 15, 2013, 12:06:01 am »

Hi Neil the David E Owen competition has been part of the Boat Museum model boat events since the 1980s and is now part of the March event. The competition is to a standard so you can have as many awards of Gold, Silver or Bronze as there are entries providing each model reaches the required standard. The classes are scratch, semi-scratch, kit and modified kit. There is plenty of space for each model, plans and documentation of the build is encouraged. There is also a “loan/ display only” category for those not wishing to enter the competition .

I'm going to try and get over to this one

always had an interest in tug towing, but never done it!

yewgarth · « **Reply #12 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:13:51 am »

Please don't forget the 'bring and buy'. Make some money selling your models, i think there were about five left unsold last year out of about 50! Also any items that are nautical related will be allowed, fittings, books, batteries, motors, drawings etc. The charge will stay the same as past years for selling, £3.00 an item and no fees after that. Sell a boat for £200, pay £3.00. Accepting items from the Friday afternoon.
