Welcome To The Derby Model Boat Club Website  

The club was founded in 1976 by a small group of model boat enthusiasts with the objectives of promoting the hobby of model boat building, operation and associated activities within the framework of local and national bylaws and legislation concerning model boating activities.

We currently have two sites to sail - Mundy Pond, Markeaton Park and Alvaston Park.

The Club is affiliated to the national governing bodies for the hobby and provides insurance for members against third party liabilities whilst sailing.

Club affairs are conducted by a committee. Members elect the committee at the AGM held in November and all members have common Voting rights.
