Every time we announce the event on 2 different websites what people can do in Antwerp that specific day.yesterday we had a couple of families with youngsters who came to visit us.one couple has taken the train from Holland to Antwerp and read about the competition and visited us. We gave the young man the transmitter of a model and he has been navigating for over an hour!! And last but not least the mother took over and enjoyed herself!

We count two active model yacht clubs in Antwerp. One is located in a park and counts about 20 members if which max 10 are active every sunday. We have a pond especially made for us in concrete- 1m deep. We count 250 members but divided in 3 divisions trains-lorries - boats
From march to october we have twice a month a regatta one for electric boats and one for steam driven. My main concern us to attract youngsters and that seem to be a worlwide problem except in Germany. If you do have ideas please sent them to me please

our club the"royal model yacht club antwerp" exists this year a 120 years. We belong to the 4 th oldest model yacht clubs in Europe. Our past president has been leading the club for 40 years.
But it is voluntary and no one wants to do it.I have taken over the presidency 2 years ago and try to put much more effort into it. We participate with our 3 divisions( trains electric and steamdriven) lorries, and boats( steam and electrical) at a model exhibition last year and we got so much intrest that we were asked to participate again in 2026. To celebrate our 120 th aniversary we organise an exhibition in a castle just outside Antwerp. My main concern is how to attract youngsters? we are not a TIK TOK generation but i always wonder are there no youngsters who are fed up with it and want to be creative with their hands. If people do have ideas about this PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Regarding this exhibition we are going to invite students who are learning for a woodworking, plumbing carrier. So i m curious what the reaction will be. I will keep you posted on this

What a grandfather you are!!!!!!! You must be a very very very proud one. My oldest grandson who will be 17 on sunday is totally not interested in modelboat building. He’s in designing swimming pools, houses, cottages on the computer.

In our 120 year old club the kmyca we have even a separate division for boats with steampower. The only thing is that in general the average age is around 70 but in the steam division it’s a 104 years old😂

Your reply almost read like a passionate romantic novell. I m jalous of your experiences.
I met my wife at the dancing school and now we are married for 51 years. On top of it it was love at first sight. Even today i like a good rock and roll putting my wife over my knee and hear hear touching the ground

In the early days they had the same from Calais to Dover. I can’t count the number of times i did this crossing. As confartable as an airplane. I still don’t know why they stopped it! May for not interfering with the chunnel train
