Our first open day since 2019 is fast approaching with the lack of commercial shows this year I think club events will be popular. Although the day is primarily for steam powered models any one wishing to visit with a non steam model will be welcome. Also on the day our members will be displaying various model tanks. Hopefully Mount fleet models will be on site so if you have questions about Model Slipway come along and have chat with them. Forgot to mention the date Sunday the 8 May at Wilton Park Batley from 9am. I C models are not allowed and no fast electric on the day.

Please excuse my ignorance but why are I C models not allowed?

Because the council says so and its a council run public park.

OK but why, what is the reasoning behind it or is it just because they can. I would have thought high speed racers could do more damage.

[Richard SimpsonParticipant @richardsimpson88330]

The pond is shared with wildlife so noise and pollution affecting nesting birds becomes a sensitive issue.

High speed racers or fast electrics are not allowed either.
