Yes, a great pity. I'm in Devon now so a bit too far away but I'm still hopeful someone may have some photos.😊

All very frustrating, has anyone compiled an exhaustive list of ponds where boats can be used?

That did not seem very clear, Wimbledon Common has, or did have, a Committee of Commoners made up of local residents and Common Rangers. As I recall the local residents objected to the noise. KM Club was always very respectful of this but we had many visitors coming to the pond, some of whom really were quite loud. I grew up within 50 yards of the pond so was well aware of the problem.

Hello, The Kingsmere Model Boat Club ended, I believe, due to the Commons Committee banning the use of Nitro and Petrol boats. G|reat pity as the pond was regularly used and kept in very good order. it really is quite a sad sight now.

Does anyone have photos of events held on Wimbledon Common by Kingsmere Model Boat Club. In the late 1960's actually held on Rushmere Pond near Wimbledon Village. Thanks.
