Just to make you laugh
The leather on the seats is real “calf leather”bused to make high fashion skirts as well as the red leather on the tray of he mast. If the RNlI would know this i don’t think they will be pleased with it !

Congratulations for all your efforts.
We try to do the same.We have taken the decision to built 4 models radio controlled. 2 are ready and the 2 others will be ready for the start of the season. Parents are amased and speachless when they see their son
or daughter calm for an hour not playing with their phone and being on tik- tok. We think we have achieved the lowest point and from this point onwards the melberships from youngsters will increase

Vappy haggis congratulations!!
The same happened to me. I have taken over the presidency of our 121 year old club as our president with his 83 years has some heart problems. It’s like running a company. Every single day you are occupied with it. Last year we organised an exhibition in a castle with our 3 divisions boats, big trains and lorries. It made me 20 years older😂.

Lew i think that that is part if the problem. Too much offered to the youngsters. I started in the early sixties no mobile phones, most people didn’t even have a television, no internet, no asocial media. I m a (strong) believer that we have hit the bottom of the curve and that i will go up again. I spoke to parents at the pond on sunday and one of the questions was “ can we come back with the kids” because they have never been so laid back with the sailing. Times will change in the other direction( one day 😂)

I agree entirely with what you wrote and i see a similar thing with my grandchildren. As a president of a 121 year old we organised an exhibition and informed and invited technical schools!! One phoned me to ask if it was free income!!!!
I also went on chat gpt and asked the question. If we would ho down what they suggest it would be a full time job for a number of people!!
They suggest:
Inviting and coming together with youngsters on a weeklybase
What about the venue
What about the numbers when you start of with lets say 10 and end up with 3 ?
So hoing down that route can be forgotten
I m not negative at all but sometimes……

But the situation is really frustrating.

A good day
This message is just to make you less lonely. I m shure that this is a world wide problem and not only to your tsech republic. Youngsters have forgotten or maybe not told by the parents that there are still other things in life to amuse themselves. I still cannot understand that children are so obessed by tiktok and other providers in this aerea. In our club we do have 4 young men (less than 12 years) who are attracted by modelboating.We try to help them in every way. We supply the hull and they have to make the drawing for the cabin and help them realsing their project. So far so good. We also have 4 boats that we have made when children arrive at the pond they recieve the transmitter and enjoy themselves. Children are enthousiast about it as well as the parents. So future will tell if this is they way forward.

The Lesro atlantic is finished back to the big models.
Work is continuing on the RNLI Tamar scale 1/12. Further work on the cabin is on his way.
The mast will be made in red and yellow cupper to avoid wrinkling🙄

Lew a good morning to you
I don't think it has something to do with countries.I m talking to dutch, belgian,and french clubs and every where they have the same problem. One of the declining memberships was the corona. I have seen our memeberships growing ( not by ten's) but regularly new members presented themselves. During the pandemy a lot of people left our club for various reasons.
I have taken over the presidency of our 121 years of existance because our actual president was suffering with health problems( he is 83). I m a young lad of 74. And i agree the efforts you put in is a days work. We organised an exhibition in a castle and the number of people showed up was fenominal due to the local newspaper and broadcasting company who announced it a couple of days before. This year we go with our 3 divisions( boats, trains and lorries) to an exhibition in Holland, after that in may we have a modelboat and modeltrain day at our second pond.
Over the 2 years i try to increase the PR and show events to attract more people and get new members out of it. I must admit due to all this , the collaboration increases.
So i hope this continues in the future. I have at he moment a fantastic team around me that is helpfull in every way.
will be continued 😂

Today we ended our 120 th aniversary with a xmas gathering at our pond. We welcomed over 25 members for a glass of « Glühwein »or a coffee. Pizzas were served and the atmosphere was fantastic.
It is nice to close the year this way. A lot of warmth between all the members
