Of the 26 kits offered by Peter Gargan on our Members Adverts page only 4 now remain unsold. Peter has reduced the price of these and says he will donate 50% of the proceeds to the club if he can sell by the end of April. The "All boats" photo gallery has been updated to include recently photographed models.

We are introducing a new feature whereby owners can add in comments on their models which are featured in the photo galleries. Go to the Photo Galleries by Owner section to see what contributions exist so far (marked by a "(+)" sign). We believe that this brings the photo galleries alive and, if you agree, please send me comments on your own models.

In our Latest Photos at Setley Gallery are a few photos from yesterday: Terry Spurge's US Tug "Jim Wilder No. 2"; Alan Furness' motor/sailer; and more of Andrew and Lorna's Perkassa. It was a beautiful day and I was too interested in exploiting the good sailing wind to take more photos!

The site is also undergoing some maintenance, tell me if something doesn't work. Members: subscriptions are now due, see the Club Notices page.

The new Rescue Boat "Phoenix" was put through her paces (as shown on the Home Page) by her constructor and Master Ken Dyer; we'll have more photos soon but at present the emphasis is for preparations for the Annual Model Boat Show in aid of the RNLI at Highcliffe on Saturday( again see the Home Page).

Thursday, but not much boating activity at the pond, possibly because it was snowing (where's that Groundhog!). There are some photos on our Latest Photos page.
Prompted by our many views from around the world the SRCMBC site has gone mutilingual (thanks to "Google Translate"). The translation is automatic so no doubt there will be mistakes, but it will be interesting to see how much this new facility is used.

Sunday, 1st March, and the spring weather brings Club Members out from hibernation. We have the Setley Harbour with new quays (thanks to Peter Soffe Construction Ltd.) ...and yes! the Club has a new rescue boat (thanks once more to Ken Dyer); there's a movie and you can also see photos on our Latest Photos page which also features Reg Radley's new Volvo Open 70, Don Brazier's Speedboat, Alison S. Canaby sailed back from New Zealand by John Cooper, and Reg Radley's completed Nordkap (admittedly photo'd in late February).
