Model Boat Show returns

FOR its sixth consecutive year a Model Boat Show will take place at the National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port.

Saturday March 1st and Sunday March 2nd will see the weekend staging the event for both enthusiasts and beginners. Model Boat Clubs from across the North West will assemble to display and exhibit hundreds of the best boats built by their clubs in the past year. The boats will once again occupy a large section of the canal plus one entire length of one of the locks displaying an extensive model dock system.

Take control

John Inch, General Manager at the National Waterways Museum, told us that the Ellesmere Port Model Boat will be giving members of the public the unique chance to take control and try steering the boats for themselves, with special highlights of the weekend include boat races, steering challenges, free sailing, model boat building demonstration and the award for the best boat.

There will also be multiple model boat traders selling parts and full kits as well as being available to offer advice on how to construct your own models.
