Due to the planned construction work between February and May 2024, Cape Town Scale Model Boat Club will not be meeting regularly at Sonstraal Dam.
At present the water level is very low and lose stones and rocks makes it unsuitable for expensive scale model boats.
Since 2019 we have been promoting Sonstraal Dam to be an open public water body for the RC hobby. With limited facilities, little shade and an unsafe access area, we tried our best to improve the environment for the entire community, whilst being undermined by our rival club.
This year, starts the 3rd year in which we will apply to the City of Cape Town to install a concrete slab at the launching area. But this has to happen out our own expense, without relying on contributions of other clubs.
We therefore had no alternative to scrap our Free for Life policy and to introduce a limited time offer of R240 for the first 20 persons that joins us between now and 31 May 2024.
The 2024 season will officially open on 1 June, but joining now does not mean nothing will happen until then.
So, head on over to the JOIN NOW button and apply for your membership today.
What happens after 1 June?
After 1 June 2024, the membership fee for the Cape Town Scale Model Boat Club will be upgraded with different benefit levels and start at R25 per month on a month-to-month basis to R1 500 per month for a Platinum Membership with a full suite of commercial benefits.
