The Bridlington Model Boat Society have hailed their August 2023 Open Weekend as the best and busiest by far since the club moved to Carnaby Industrial Estate in 1988.

Thousands of people visited over the two days and enjoyed everything from powerboats to rock crawlers.

Club President Ian Phillips, said: “We could have filled our car parking space twice over with hundreds of visitors from very young to very senior enjoying the models both on display and in operation.

“Walking around, everyone was treated to
boats of all types from fast powerboats to a motorised skip, trucks, tractors, diggers, racing buggies, rock crawlers and the latest addition to the club which is a track for 16mm live steam and electric locomotives.

“There were so many people telling us that they didn’t know we existed, well they do now.” added Ian.

Anyone requiring information about the club can find it online at bridmodelboats.co.uk where there is a list of events which are open to the general public to come and watch.
