September 18, 2026It started raining on the day, but soon cleared up for the Club’s last event of the year the Commercial Vessel Day on 13th September 2026. Attendance was good on the day, with a good selection of models both on display and on the water.
It was also good to have a chat with members and the Club also had applications to join the Club from the public, a good day all round. Thanks to all who attended. [...]
September 18, 2026This year’s Scale Section Charity Model Boat Show was held at the Milford-on-Sea Community Centre on 29th August 2026. The Club had over 50 boats exhibited and it attracted a lot of interest from the public with a steady footfall all day,
It was nice to see people enjoying talking to members about their boats and seeing all the hard work that goes into building the Boats. It did rain at times but this did not deter members or visitors, the cafe was also open for people to enjoy tea and cake.
The show collected £264.00 for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. Thank you to all who attended the show either by showing your boat or members just coming on the day to look around and have a chat.
Photos taken at the show by Scale Section member Peter Taylor can be viewed here. [...]

February 29, 2024Club Member David Reith took these photos at Setley Pond today, the 29th February 2024. And guess what… more rain is forecast!
The pond has now extended over the banks which are very slippery with sudden drops into deep water. These drops are hidden by the water, do not paddle! Great care is needed in the vicinity of the pond.

The tools are mostly of the DIY hand held power type, such as. routers, planers, circular saws etc. I don’t have an inventory but if anyone cares to contact Paul Nixon with a particular need he could send details to them directly. In return a reasonable donation to the Poole Men’s Shed would be acceptable.
