Model Boats  |  August 2019
"I don’t really like doing that very British thing of banging on about the weather but I have to say, for those of us who live in Lincolnshire, June has been a pretty damp (to say the least) month here. Rather frustrating when you want to get outdoors and do ‘boaty’ things, especially when the magazine depends on it. Things did get a little desperate at one stage and the only solution was to get in the car and head south until the sun started shining and the wind began to calm. It was ‘mission accomplished’ in the end but I still did not manage to get everywhere I was planning on going to in June, simply because a) there weren’t enough hours in the day and b) the weather would not play ball! I really hope that not too many events have also been affected as there can be nothing worse than spending twelve months planning only for Mother Nature to step in, and not in a good way.
If you are having a big event at your club please let us know well in advance because we may like to attend and that could result in a few pages of coverage. In the meantime, have a good summer and ‘if the sun is shining’ make the most of it! "
