We are officially authorised by Eastleigh Borough Council to use one of the Lakeside lakes. The Council usually permits us to take cars to the water side, and to keep our race marks on the lake, throughout the year.  There are bathroom facilities in the Park, and a cafe at the nearby model railway.

 

Scale Division

 

We cater for all types of model ships and boats. Whether they are scratch built, kits, collectables, made from any materials, scale, semi or non scale. Powered by electric, steam or sail (but our facilities are not suitable for I.C. engine powered models).

 

Our exclusive boating lake within the grounds of Highbridge Farm has a clubhouse, jetty and free adjacent parking. We meet every Sunday and Wednesday at 10.00 – 12:00 am to sail, work to further improve our facilities, or to offer experienced modeling advice.

 

Social Events:- A full diary of events is organised throughout the year including visits to other clubs and attendance at shows/exhibitions both local and national together with social activities.

 

To find out more about us you are most welcome to come along to either of our meeting locations on the days outlined above to find out more.
