Useful Information
In each issue of the Margate Handbook, we feature a series of sections providing important information for local residents including important phone numbers, upcoming local events and details about local clubs and groups.
This section aims to collate all the information we’ve given to readers throughout our issues, as a sort-of knowledgebase resource for loccal residents!
Featured Club
Ramsgate ‘Vikings’ Model Boat Club
We hold monthly meetings on the second Thursday of each month at the The Northwood Club, Ramsgate starting at 7.30pm.
The members build and sail radio controlled scale models of warships, tugs, fishing boats, yachts and high speed electric racing boats.
The water we use is the boating pool at The Westcliffe Leisure Park, Royal Esplanade, Ramsgate on Sunday mornings and Thursday mornings.
Every September we hold our Annual Model Ships Rally where clubs from all over Southern England attend.
