Fireboat Funday 2008!
This year the funday will be taking place on the first weekend in September (6th and 7th). The main event will be held on the Sunday starting around ten at Branston Water Park (see below). Like the title suggests the event is mainly for the Fireboats and Crash Tenders, so if you have one of these craft big or small, petrol, electric or rubber band propelled bring it along! The event is being held by the Burton model boat club (view club site).

Comments from 2006
| Brian King : | "For those of you unable to attend the Fun Fireboat Day in 2006, you unfortunately missed a great day. It was good to meet so many enthusiasts and share information and camaraderie. Thank you to Peter and the committee of the Burton Club for organising a good 'fun day'.
Brian King and Robin Rose, Manx Model Boat Club."

| Pete Harvey : | "I thought the event was great. It was well attended and all of the people really friendly. Many thanks to Pete Dimberline and the Burton Club. I have put a 10 min video showing the stands and some of the IC boats running on the following link http://pic6.piczo.com/fireboat/."
| | Brian Povey : | "A really enjoyable day, this was my first contact with vosper crash tenders since being a freckled 10 year old at Roker Park, Sunderland in 1955. The inspiration I gained has led to an addiction for Aerokits models! Please make this wonderfull day an annual event. I can't possibly wait until 2008. Thank you all so much for a great outing." |
