Black Park Model Boat Club is a friendly non competitive club that is open to new members at any time.
Membership is open to all the family and includes public liability insurance cover.
The club regularly displays at national events and more local shows,
raising awareness of both the club and the hobby as a whole.
The Black Park Club covers all aspects of model boating with members models ranging from Yachts to fine scale models of warships and other powered craft.
During sailing sessions you can often see 'scale sail' models such as Thames Barges, scale powered craft such as tugs, trawlers, lifeboats, electric powerboats, fully operational model submarines and even hovercraft all sharing the large lake.
Most types of model boats are catered for and the sailing is informal but please note that IC powered craft are not permitted.
The club has an annual 'open day' or regatta.
This year it's on Sunday September 7th with the proceeds going to support the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen.
