    @ Hermank Yes, that is the sad reality of our greed-infested world. I suppose there are many sad tales akin to yours and it's perhaps a blessing as someone mentioned elsewhere that we won't live to see that day when the RC hobby takes its final bow. When there is a commercial intent behind the activity, it's always a safer option, but it does not sit well with the RC Boaters, especially if they have been used to a decade or more of "free water". Taking the legal route to challenge these pencil-pusher decisions is not always feasible, and relying on promises they make is even a worse horse to bet on. We experienced it here with our local council too. Pushing full astern on the construction of a concrete plinth at the launching area at a local pond, and then coming up with a new bucket-list of hoops we need to jump through to do it ourselves at our expense for the benefit of all other clubs. Two years of paper wars and one meeting after the next, went belly-up in one email. It's like an Alfred Hitchcock romance. Someone always gets killed in the end. Talking about "specially designed" ponds, we had a place called Ratanga Junction. It was a rollercoaster park for a few years, but only open during summer. Then they closed down and decided to redevelop the park. In the design, they created an RC Boat pond. And we were all very excited about it. Until we saw the size. Not even a toy shop speedboat will reach full speed before it hits the opposite wall. It was totally too small and not nearly RC ready, but the designers were the sharp pencils and did not consult any of the RC clubs. Today it's a mosquito breeding tank. It looks nice, until you disturb the surface. The larger ponds are much better but the property owner is still looking for the "reply to email" button after two years of enquiry. It's always a blessing when you find a property owner with a business brain; one who an see the potential model boating has in increasing foot traffic to his/her venue. Unfortunately the trade off is an increase in membership fees.

    Thank you Alessandro Yes, I enjoy sailing here. The wooden bridge leads into the city center, so there are lots of people out and about. Often parents with their children, and of course their eyes light up. Sometimes the children come onto the jetty and want to take a closer look at how I steer the boat, so I like to let the children steer the boat. I love the look of joy on their faces. That's what I really enjoy.

    Youngster becoming member
    Now we are into April and the weather in most of the UK is great; it is too recruitment time for new Model Boat Club members. We should all welcome all new members of potential members of all ages. In that respect we should see it as our duty to spread the word on this wonderful and challenging hobby. Flaxybuck and I welcomed two new nature members to our Club only yesterday Dr John F. Leeds and Bradford. MBC ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
