​Welcome to our website, hope you enjoy and please let us have your comments which can be sent to our Webmaster at kirkleesmbc2021@gmail.com. We are based in Batley, West Yorkshire, with members interests covering all aspects of model boat building and sailing in both scale and sail. We meet every Sunday Morning at Wilton Park and members also sail models on Thursday afternoon.  All types of models are well represented throughout the year. Any models are welcome, we even have the odd duck or swan. We also have submarines, hovercraft and, when the pond is clear, fast electrics can be run.  There are several events run on a Sunday morning with both Yacht racing and motor based events catered for.  For more information please see the About Us pages HERE. 
We have many events running throughout the Year, both at home and at model and engineering events in other areas. Obviously there is less activity in the Winter months and we have even been known to have to crack the ice to actually sail any models. If the lake is frozen there are always hovercraft to entertain us.

Our model yacht members are quite a hardy bunch and they are on the lake on Sunday Mornings and Thursday Afternoons come rain, sleet or snow.  The only time they admit defeat is when the lake is iced over completely or there is a total lack of wind.


In 2015 we re-introduced Club 500 racing which can be fast and furious, with boats bouncing off each other, the banks, the bouy's marking the course, and even the island in the middle of the lake. The wildlife on the lake is probably grateful we do not have the races every week! For more information on Club 500 see the Downloads page

For 2022 there will be the usual Gala Days which attract a lot of interest from other model clubs and local people. For all that is happening this year see our Events page. 

For 2022 we continue our new venture for the club and we now have a Military Vehicles section, mainly Tanks. These will be on show at our Open Days and in use on Sunday Mornings at Wilton Park.

We also now have a Club Members Message Board. This has been built by Andy Waters, to access the forum go to.
