The event runs from 10:00am to 5:00pm (weather permitting), so why not bring the family along and spend some time with us at the lake?

Where you can find us
Cwmbran boating lake is our home water, where everyone is welcome to view and enjoy the impressive range of marine models that can be seen sailing on Sunday mornings and Wednesday afternoons (weather permitting)
In addition to our regular Sunday and Wednesday sessions, during our open day events you may also see cars, trucks, planes and other models in action.
Visitors are encouraged to chat with our members, learn about the hobby, and experience the friendly atmosphere that makes our club so special.
The Boathouse Café, located adjacent to our sailing area, offers a good range of food and hot drinks for those colder days, as well as cold drinks and ice lollies during the summer months.
For visitors with limited mobility, a gently sloping ramp leads down to the main lake sailing area, making it accessible for most people.
The site features one large lake for the more seaworthy vessels, along with two smaller lakes ideal for models that may benefit from a more "hands‑on" approach.
Public toilets are conveniently located nearby.

Our Approach
The emphasis at CMS is not on modelling ability or technical skill, but on the enjoyment of the hobby.

- It’s always good to see members passing on their knowledge and helping others develop their skills — after all, the novices of today will be the experts of tomorrow.
