We extend a warm welcome to all those in the Oxfordshire area who have an interest in model boats and marine modelling.
Our Club covers most aspects of marine modelling, members attend exhibitions, charity fund-raising events, local and national regattas.
Marine Models
These can be static, free running or radio controlled, powered by electric motor, steam engine or of course wind, for the yachts.
The following are some of the categories;-
Scale Models: replicas of full size craft such as forces craft, harbour vessels, merchants ships, tankers, tugs, fishing boats, offshore power boats and sailing vessel- Thames barges, schooners, etc., to name but a few.
Model Yachts: usually built for racing in a variety of classes. The club has a well supported race calendar for both one metre class and Fiesta class yachts.
Novelty items: built for fun - includes sea creatures, water fowl, cartoon and literary characters, etc.
The club holds a meeting on the first Thursday of each month, except January, at 7.30pm in Jordan Hill Sports Pavilion, Banbury Road, Oxford. Boats are sailed on the Hinksey Lakes, our members operate their sailed craft on the boating lake and their larger yachts on the reservoir, usually Sunday mornings from about 9.30am and Thursday afternoons from 1pm, all year round.
Annual membership is £20 with special rates for families. See Contact us for more information.
