PMMC will have a stand at this show. There will be a pond to sail your boat and entertain the public. Come along and join fellow members for what is always a busy weekend.

Our annual barge get together. Bring your model sailing barges along and sail them together with other skippers. Currently there does not appear to be any weed problems. Other models more than welcome, but there will be a good proportion of canvas on the lake. It is forecast to be ideal sailing conditions. So come along and enjoy the day.

Pictures from the Thames barge match on Wednesday. A cold blustery day greeted the skippers. But they were up for the challenge even if the boats struggled sometimes. Thanks to John S. for the pictures and video.

A BIG thank you to all those that could make it. Over 30 boats and 25 members in attendance.
Thank you to Jake for the images, to Dave S. and Mike O. for the additional pictures and video. Congratulations to Allan P. and Stuart W. for their awards.

PMMC will have it’s annual open day Wednesday 22nd April 2026. The event will be held on the Island Terrace where we normally sail 10.00 – 16.00.

Now held earlier in the year so we can avoid weed problem. Weather permitting there will be a variety of different model boats on show, sail, electric, and steam. Come along and share the day with other members and modellers, and enjoy a sail on the lake.
All the usual facilities will be available, plus and coffee, tea and food are available to purchase from the Inn on The Lake restaurant.

We hope to see you there for a fun day!
