The Mutual Model Boat Society is a warm, friendly and helpful group of enthusiasts. Our aims are: -
To promote all aspects of model boating and to encourage people to take up the hobby, especially the younger generation. Our members' models cover a wide range of styles from steam driven warships and launches to airscrew-driven 'fun' craft.
Sailing times
We meet every Sunday morning from 9:00 am, 52 weeks a year, to sail, chat, share ideas and information and have a 'brew' and a 'natter'.
The mill is a business centre so sailing is not available at any other time. Visitors are welcome every Sunday.
The pond
Our water is a mill lodge situated in the grounds of Mutual Mills. The surroundings tend to leave sailing vessels in the 'Doldrums' but it does mean we have relatively calm water for everyone else. Unfortunately IC powered craft are not permitted.
Mutual Mills Model Boat Society regrets to announce that 'high performance' fast electric craft can no longer be used on our water at any time.
This is due to complaints about noise from local residents.
We are sorry to make this restriction but we have to protect our use of this water.
Location and Facilities
Mutual Mills, Aspinall Street, Heywood, Lancashire is just a five minute drive from the M66. (Map here)
