Hello all, by my reckoning Brean is in Somerset on the coast just South of Weston-super-mare. Might be good to see the shipping in the Bristol Channel if this is the place. Still it is a bit of a long way for us Scots to go to. Espaecially if convincing the wife that a week's holiday in a static caraven is a great idea!

Cheers

Jim

From what ive been told by my girlfriend who originally comes from Bristol,Brean is very much like Weston super mare as it has a very deep beach front (also why W.S.M is popular for the beach racing)..i think itll be popular for the car racers,so might give it a go .Tim

Hello, sorry for late reply by acouple of years. This years event (2008) went ahead, however the numbers had severly dropped off as we were the only modellers there. But we enjoyed the pool to ourseleves with the boats and the night club for indoor flying until the last day when i discovered another modeller there by chance, also flying.

To sum up its moved to unity farm next door as pontins were not interested in hosting the event any more, but we had an enjoyable week despite being the sole represcentative for the hobby.

Photo included for a view of the total number of boats attended.

Maybe a bit of publicity would help.

Can you give us details of the event next year and we can put it in the calendar here and on the Modelboatmayhem forum calendar.

Tell us a bit more about it, where it is, how long, facilities etc...etc.. to generate a bit of interest.
