Hello all,

i am so sorry to hear this, but i am anyway unable to attend this year because of a few unexpected bills to pay, so i keep my fingers crosser for you and the later date.

I hope to see all of you next year.

Best regards Hans.

After the disappointment of the cancellation of Paddler Day 2014, it was nice that some paddler owners managed to make it to the show at Richmond Park on Sunday.

The weather was good and some nice sailing took place.

Thanks to Davie and Robert (and me) from Richmond who brought their Confederate blockade runner, Grey Ghost and Columba respectively.

To Andrew and Allan from the Model Steamer Club who brought their Glen Rosa and Bournemouth Queen. Allan also brought along his Marchioness of Graham to represent the turbine ships.

And to Gavin of the PSPS who came down from Scone and brought his Duchess of Rothesay and Glen Sannox.

Wonderful day out Sandy and fantastic to see the Paddlers sail in formation. I have lot's of video footage and will hopefully post some short films on each individual boat over Autumn/Winter. In the meantime PDs may be interested in the video of the overall Gala Day at Richmond Park. Ruthlessly edited but still nearly 9 minutes long; there was just so much going on in the pond. Lots of Paddlers but, be warned, also contains Fast Electric
