Kenwith Castle MBC Open Day

Unlike many club Open Days this one is not open to the public as it is held in the grounds of a private Care Home. Their lake is set in the beautiful well manicured surroundings and has a launch platform. There is always a large contingent of local clubs with a wide variety of boats on display on and off the water. The club offers a superb, and very large buffet free to any visiting club members.

Shepton Mallet “Drifters” Model Boat Club Open Day

(held during the Collett Park Festival) This is a lovely venue in the grounds of Collett Park, Shepton Mallet. The festival itself is much like an old style English fete with small stand exhibits and local groups. There is a band stand where live music is played all day. We have use of a small shallow pond, only really suitable for scale models or yachts with short keels.

The club’s Open Day attracts many local clubs from the area who put on a large display with long lines of gazebos lakeside. Unlike many venues nowadays they are allowed to run fast electric boats and have specific time slots for them during this event.
