Kirklees Model Boat Club - Events 2018
Events 2018
Just like 2017 arranging the Events for 2018 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 and also Tanks and Military Machines.

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 it, we will confirm the date to everyone.
Club 500s 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.
AUTUMN OPEN DAY - Open to all classes of models and the Les Kirkby trophy will be awarded for the
best Kirklees Warship. Also we hope to display radio controller military vehicles on the three main open
days.
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.
Some home events may clash with away events, this is unavoidable due to the large number of events at
home and away.
