Club Rules

WATERSIDE REGULATIONS

Proper standards of behaviour and competence are expected of all skippers operating model boats on Derby Club waters and members must show consideration for other members, model boaters and their models.

At the Mundy Pool only 'quiet' models are permitted (e.g. electric/steam/sail).

At Alvaston Lake all model types are permitted. Please keep away from fisherpersons, whenever possible.

Do not sail into, or near, the bird wildlife often using club waters.

Every member of the Derby Modal Club is required to exercise a duty of care when carrying out club activities in public areas.

Slow moving craft Only to sail near the water's edge.

TRANSMITTER CONTROL

Explanatory Note: Because of the limited number of frequencies available on the 27MHz, 40HMz and 2.4ghz Bands, there is an increased chance that two transmitters will be on the same frequency colour and interference will result. This will lead to total loss of control of both models. It is, therefore, necessary that the following regulations are complied with.

 

	No skipper shall switch on a transmitter until holding the appropriate radio frequency peg. Care shall be taken to ensure that transmitter control sticks cannot be operated accidentally (e.g. by the transmitter being left unattended
	When the pegboard is not available all other skippers present shall be consulted before switching on a transmitter to ensure no clashes of frequency occur.
	When two or more skippers wish to use the same frequency, then after operating for not more than thirty minutes, the holding skipper shall switch off his transmitter and pass the peg to the next waiting skipper.
