Colwyn Bay MBC Event 22/7/12.

Some of our club members [myself included] attended the Admirals regatta event, organised by Colwyn bay Model Boat Club. The morning haze soon disappeared in to a warm but occasionally breezy day. There were a few other model boat clubs in attendance as well as a few model boat traders too. There was some piped music to keep all entertained during the day, a local charity stall selling home made cakes and snacks
, a tombola, model boat auction, straight running demonstration during the lunch period as well as loads and loads of model boats on display, of which a few did take to the water too.
As you will see from the pictures, there were a few model Lifeboats too, but only 3 were brave enough to venture on to the water unfortunately, so the parade of Lifeboats was abandoned.
I have already requested that our club be put on the attendance list for next year, so leave so leave some space in your diaries!
