The Vintage Model Yacht Group (toy section) regatta at Crowborough
No radio control in sight

Having people standing around the perimeter.......
.....reduced the need to walk all around (photo Robin)
Keeping everyone busy all day, but in a very, very relaxed way !
including the stars of the future! (photo VMYG)
