Kirklees Model Boat Club - Events 2017
Events 2017
Just like 2016 arranging the Events for 2017 has been another challenge for our Public Relations Officer Stan Reffin. Trying to liaise with other clubs and incorporate all the requests from our members has been hard work but as usual he has managed and this year looks like being another good one. A quick look at the lists will show many and varied events and there should be something for anybody who is interested in model boats.
Anniversary lunch 25th June at the Manor Golf Club, Drighlington
39 members attended for this 40th year celebration lunch. The food was excellent as it always is at the Golf Club. We had a cake with a picture of the lake and the club logo.
A small raffle was held so we could provide the staff with a decent tip. Thanks to everyone who donated items to raffle on the day.
Thanks to Karen Behan and Julie Dyson for selling the raffle tickets and thanks to Emily and Gary Dyson for taking photographs. Gary Dyson also very thoughtfully made some gluten free cupcakes for two of our members who were unable to eat the celebration cake.

Steam Day will be supervised by Richard Simpson but at the present time we are unable to give a date.
However as soon as we know we will confirm the date to everyone.
Club 500 will be supervised by Officers of the Day. All Club 500s must display a number.
At our 3 major events any orange fencing must not be moved other than by a KMBC member. This is
erected for security purposes.
During any race/event the course must not be obstructed. This is common courtesy. Please feel
free to use the far side of the lake or remove your models as a courtesy gesture until the race is
over.
Unfortunately some of these home events may clash with proposed away events but this is unavoidable
due to the large amount of events at home and away.
