The PMMC monthly club night meeting at The Inn on the Lake – Silvermere. Come along and have a chat with fellow club members. Share updates on your latest projects, and activities.
We should be meeting at the far end of the bar which will give us a bit more space (the trophy room has been a bit cramped in the past)
Weather permitting, if you are early enough there is an opportunity to sail on the lake. Shallow draft scale models only due to the low water level. Sail near to the island just in case you pick up some weed. An area has been cleared but it does not extend very far out.
Guest Speaker – Brian Purse will be taking to us about all things electric/electronic.

PMMC Club Night – Monday 10th August 2026. Guest Speaker – Paul South
The PMMC monthly club night meeting at The Inn on the Lake – Silvermere. Come along and have a chat with fellow club members. Share updates on your latest projects, and activities. If you are early enough a sail on the lake is possible for smooth keel yachts and anything with a prop along the front of the island, but it does not extend very far out.
Guest Speaker – Paul South talking about a very special power boat.
Club Night – July 13th 2026
Our monthly club meeting. A chance to enjoy an evening sailing on the lake. Share updates on your latest projects, and activities with fellow members. Then later in the club house Peter Shires will be talking about his Marine Craft boat.
Please note:
Weed is causing a problem in some areas of the lake. So sailing deep keel yachts is a risk, but smooth hull yachts like moonbeams, Robbe Atlantis may be OK. Scale boats electric/steam are best sailed in the area immediately (up to 5 metres out) in front of the island where most of the weed has been cleared.
GMES – Gala Weekend 4th & 5th July 2026 – Brilliant pictures from Jakub.
The jetty has been lowered. PLEASE BE CAREFUL of the increased step down!
As usual at this time of year, due to the lower water level on the lake, the jetty has been lowered to make it easier to launch boats. PLEASE BE CAREFUL when using the jetty and mind the larger step down to the lower half of the jetty.
