Great model boating in a splendid setting
Boats built and sailed by members of Etherow Model Boat Club are a popular feature of one of England's oldest Country Parks.
Nestling in the foothills of the Pennines, the park is so attractive that an estimated quarter of a million people a year visit and many of them linger by our lake to admire our craft.
The lake we sail gives plenty of space for Fiesta yachts , fast electric racers, scale warships and other vessels, with even he odd submarine popping up.
While the rest of the world may be filled with pressures and concerns, our hobby allows us to enjoy the location, watch our boats in action and chat with other people curious about the construction, workings or history of them.
This is the first day of the show and there will be lots of trade stands where people can pick up bargains and hard-to-source items. Also there will be some breat displays with all sorts of model clubs putting on displays.
The coach will pick people up in Stockport and Denton.
There will be a D Class lifeboat on show along with all the models and EMBC members with lifeboats are encouraged to join in. There will be lots of on-water activity on both lakes as well as judging of standards of builds.
People coming from far afield can find directions our location page.
