Club Activities at the Pond.
Towards the end of Summer 2009, a lady by the name of Sahra Bhimji stopped by our pond at Inverleith Park and made a short film of the clubs activities going on at the time. This short film can be seen by clicking on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv9SsGgjW_s or you can search for it under the title of "Sundays on the Water" on the Edinburgh Model Boat Club page. In addition there are a couple of even shorter films showing other activities including Nigel's superb yacht and the "Predator" speed boat on "Youtube". Go to the Edinburgh Model Boat Club page and scroll down until you come to "Video results for Edinburgh Model Boat Club" and "Fiona introduces us to the attractions of the Edinburgh Model Boat Club"
