2018 website issue

Hove Lagoon MYC seem to be alive and well, but as of Summer 2018 they are currently "between websites", as the company hosting their site seems to have discontinued the "wikispaces.com" service. We'll add the details of the club's new website address when it's set up. Meanwhile the old pages (including a detailed history of the club) are still accessible on the Internet Archive.

Archived description via WaybackEngine:

Introduction to Hove Lagoon MYC The Hove Lagoon Model Yacht Club is based on the South Coast in West Sussex. Unlike many other venues we do not suffer with a reed problem. This is an open invitation to join us on Sundays from 09:30 if you are looking for good open water. This venue has visibility and access to the boats on three sides of The Lagoon. The club is affiliated to the UK Model Yachting Association (MYA) with mixed skills from Beginner to Expert, so help is always available and willingly provided. The affiliation with the MYA is through the Metropolitan and Southern District Office. We specialise in One Metre (IOM) yachts which are normally raced on Sundays. The boats are usually radio controlled yachts but model sailing boats of all types are always welcome. Hove is adjacent to Brighton and is the perfect place to relax and watch majestic model boats either gently sailing or competing in races. This shallow 19,500 square-metre Lagoon is surrounded by Hove Lagoon Park with toilets, eating and disabled facilities where visitors are always welcome. Being based adjacent to the sea the wind conditions are absolutely ideal for sailing and racing model yachts. So if you are looking for a sailing venue in Sussex then pay us a visit and if you want to try sailing then we will be pleased to let you try sailing a yacht. — , Hove Lagoon MYC , , https://hovelagoonmyc.wikispaces.com/ , , 2018

hove lagoon model yacht club

Hove Lagoon, a true gem on the western side of the city, stands as a testament to the rich seafront history of Brighton and Hove. Built in 1930 and fully operational by the mid-1930s, the lagoon has evolved into one of the country’s premier watersports centres, offering a myriad of activities for visitors of all ages. With its roots dating back to the graceful navigation of model yachts in its waters, Hove Lagoon has become a hub for families, dog walkers, local residents, and watersports enthusiasts.

The park, nestled amidst the vibrant Brighton and Hove seafront, boasts a 200m long and 100m wide boating lake seamlessly integrated into the surrounding grassland. This picturesque setting not only provides a scenic backdrop for the diverse range of activities but also offers convenient access to the beach, creating a holistic recreational experience for visitors. While the park itself welcomes guests around the clock, it’s advisable to check the operating hours of individual businesses within the premises.

Owned by the renowned musician Fatboy Slim since 2013, the park’s cafe has been a local institution since 1990. Beyond offering a space to relax and enjoy refreshments, the cafe stands as a testament to the park’s historical and cultural significance.

How to get there:

Hove Lagoon caters to a broad audience with its expansive range of activities that you can book in. Some of the activities you can participate in are as follows:

Standup Paddle Boarding (SUP)

This engaging water activity invites participants to stand atop buoyant boards, paddle in hand, and explore the serene waters of lakes, rivers, or oceans, seamlessly blending tranquillity with adventure.

Wakeboarding

Participants strap onto a wakeboard, get pulled by a boat, and experience the exhilaration of carving through the water, catching air off the boat’s wake.

Wing Surf Foiling

Riders use a handheld wing to harness the wind’s power, propelling themselves on a foil-equipped board above the water’s surface, creating a sensation of effortless flight.

Windsurfing

The dynamic combination of sailing and surfing offers an exciting way to harness the power of the wind. Participants glide across the water on a board with an attached sail, combining skill and the natural forces of the wind for a unique experience.

Something for adrenaline enthusiasts, putting them in command of a fast and agile motorboat. The sport offers the exhilaration of skimming across the water, powered by a robust engine.

The epitome of aquatic adrenaline provides a compact and nimble watercraft experience. Riders can carve through waves, perform thrilling manoeuvres, and feel the wind in their hair with powerful jet propulsion.

At either location, there are a plethora of surrounding activities you can keep occupied with. At the Brighton Marina, a bowling alley and cinema offer entertainment options that perfectly complement the aquatic experiences provided by Hove Lagoon. Meanwhile, Hove itself is a bustling hub with a multitude of events and attractions, guaranteeing that there is always something exciting unfolding for an unforgettable day of exploration and enjoyment. Whether you choose to indulge in the thrill of watersports, savour the cinematic experience, or explore the vibrant happenings in Hove, the options are diverse, promising a well-rounded and memorable day for all.

The lagoon also extends its offerings to the younger generation with the Kids Summer Activity Week, allowing little ones to partake in a variety of activities while making new friends. Gift cards for both locations and kid-friendly party options are available on their website, offering convenient access to memorable experiences.

In conclusion, Hove Lagoon and its partner venue provide an unmatched aquatic experience, combining history, culture, and a diverse range of watersports. Whether you’re seeking a treat for yourself or planning a special occasion such as a stag or hen do, birthday party, or a family outing, Hove Lagoon has something for everyone.

Hove in the Past

Local History of Hove, Brighton and surrounding area by Judy Middleton

Although swans would be a rare sight today, there are other birds that might be seen. For example a lone cormorant was sighted on 6 and 7 November 2023. It was not immediately visible but suddenly its head popped up above the water, and it had obviously found something to eat. On the 11 November four cormorants were seen, three of them showing an interest in the waters of the lagoon.

These days it is the practice to thoroughly empty Hove Lagoon every two years to give the basin a good clean. This takes place during the winter when there are no activities on the water. It is not a swift undertaking either because expensive water pumps have to be installed to empty the water, then the cleaning takes place, followed by the gradual filling up with seawater at high tide from the special inlet – the whole process taking around six weeks. In 2022 the cleaning was taking place in February but Storm Eunice on 18 February threw a spanner in the works by causing fresh water from a leaking pipe to start filling the Lagoon. Harvey Dawkins, owner of Lagoon Watersports, was unhappy at the situation because the cleaning operation costs £8,000 and it was now a waste of time and money. He called upon Southern Water for help because the new season was due to start in April. ( Argus 25/2/22)

There was a further blow to the Lagoon area when the outdoor gym equipment at the south bank was deemed so unsafe that it would all have to be removed in April 2022. Local councillors Robert Nemeth and Garry Peltzer Dunn had been warm supporters of the initial idea of using wood from the area as well as iron fittings crafted locally. They hoped that it would be sustainable and easily repaired when necessary, and it was funded by developers. Unfortunately, there was no maintenance fund, and now it seemed a possibility that there would be no replacements until 2024 when the ‘Kingsway to the Sea’ regeneration project comes into force ( Argus 4 April 2022). It should be noted that this regeneration is coming from the Government and not Brighton & Hove City Council, which ironically is celebrating in April 2022 the 25 th anniversary of Brighton and Hove becoming one town. The majority of Hove people never wanted this union and their pessimism has been justified by chronic under-funding in Hove and Portslade while also being landed with Brighton’s huge debts.

Friends of Hove Lagoon

In these days of cutbacks, the area around Hove Lagoon would look in a sorry state were it not for the Friends of Hove Lagoon whose formation dates back to January 2016 at a meeting held in the Big Beach Cafe. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength, organising such events as the Lagoon-Fest, creating a charity calendar, holding raffles, purchasing equipment such as benches, picnic tables and notice boards, besides the more mundane task of littering. The on-going and most expensive project was the Planting Scheme. The Friends are also in constant touch with the council over various issues. ( The Hovarian May 2023)

In 2023 one volunteer and three youngsters were busy litter picking, and clearing paths at the Lagoon, as part of their work for the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Also, for their ‘Make a Difference Day’ some 80 students from Brighton College arrived at the Lagoon on 26 September and weeded the garden beds, saving a decent amount of garden waste to be composted. They also did some litter picking. ( The Hovarian November 2023)

Happy times and great memories

Having read a couple of comments about the ‘Train Rides’ at the Lagoon and just come across this photo of me, I thought that I might stir a few memories. Those days with, as I remember, the Bandstand with dancing area, the boats and the play areas and the very happy times I had there with my family.

Great memories!

Happy times at Hove Lagoon | From the private collection of David Phillips

Page created

Comments about this page.

Great picture, nice memories brought back of my childhood living in Hove, and played frequently there on the trains and boating on the lagoon, with my parents. A fair walk from Livingstone Road where we lived at the time, through Stoneham Road, & Wish Road play areas too.

You certainly have stirred some memories – thank you – I have a similar picture (as many others probably have too) – My photo is of my daughter when she was about 2 years old so taken about 1973. I remember going on the trains when I was young too. I expect there are quite a few people who can say the same. I don’t remember the bandstand but that could be down to my poor memory. I spent many happy hours at the Lagoon from the 1950’s right through to the 1990’s when I went with my daughter and grandchildren. We had lots of fun on the swings and the plank swing was my special favourite. Have happy memories of the boating lake and watching the model boats on the larger lake – just lots and lots of happy times. It is funny but nearly all my memories seem to include the sun shining but I know I went there when it wasn’t.

Was that back in the 1950s?

Hi David, can you date the photo? I remember the lagoon with great fondness, probably during the late 1950’s and very early 1960’s. But I don’t remember the train, is it late 1940’s?

Oh the great times we had here. Watching the speed boats, ice creams and the swans. Do you remember in 1963/4 it froze solid and there was a foot gap between the edge & the ice. Just the other side of the prom was our favourite beach. I was no different than the rest – but it was ours.There was a private water front house there I think. Best wishes from Brisbane.

Hi all, the photo would have been taken in the 1950s as I was born in 1948. If my memory serves me correctly the Bandstand and dancing area was over by the Cafe but I could be wrong there. Chris in Brisbane (good move) I was in the RN in 1964 and my Lagoon days were gone. I noticed that your surname is Edwards as is my mother’s maiden name. Her family is from the Portslade and Hove area with her father being William son of Mark Edwards any connection.

I remember the trains too. I guess this photo was early 1960s. I lived in Coleman Avenue and regularly went to the Lagoon as a child in the 1960s. It was a real treat to go on the trains, as everything else was free. I can remember a huge slope at one entrance to the Lagoon, where friends and I would roller skate down as we grew older and were allowed the venture out without our parents.

That train was still there in at least the early sixties. Do you remember the ice cream window in the cafe where you could get a cone and have it dipped in melted chocolate? That is the only place I have ever seen that done.

Hello David, It’s me again! The trains were most definitely there in the 1950s and possibly into the early 1960s. I, too, remember riding on them when I was a child, having been born a year after you in 1949, and living until 1959 in St. Leonard’s Avenue. The bandstand with its dance area though were certainly further east that the lagoon, just to the west of the bowling greens, where tennis is now played. I remember going to an open air concert at the bandstand one summer evening in 1964(?) and hearing The Animal’s “House of the Rising Sun” for the very first time. Everyone was talking about it because it was a whole four minute long single. Unheard of at that time. What great memories!

Dave said “I noticed that your surname is Edwards as is my mother’s maiden name. Her family is from the Portslade and Hove area with her father being William son of Mark Edwards any connection.” Sadly no – But I think I went to school with you – Both Benfield and Mile Oak – I’m circa 48 too. Ex St Andrews Road and Later Old Shoreham Road – both Portslade. Ken Edwards (Cousin) and I were Mods at the King Alfred Bowl.

Hi Chris, it was worth a shot. I didn’t go to Benfield but to St Nicholas and Portslade County and had an LI 150 with fly screen, wing mirrors and a goat skin covered dual seat and of course the statutory US Army parka. Oh the impetuosity of youth, but fun.

I had a LD 150 in the last year of school and a LI 150 Series 2 later. We moved to Devon when I was 17 and a half.

Hi all, I remember going down the lagoon in the late 60’s and riding on the motor boats, at that time there used to be 2 lift up landing stages on the south side where they could bring the boats in to repair them. Then in the mid 70’s I used to race the model power boats down there, what great time we had.  Does anybody have any old photos of the lagoon which they would mind me using on a website? We are now launching the “Brighton & Hove model power boat club” and will start using the lagoon again as a racing venue in March.  I am just sorting out a website and wanted to include a section entitled ‘history of the lagoon’. Any help, photos etc would be gratefully appreciated. I will keep a look out on here for anybody wishing to participate.

Any one else remember crabbing at the Lagoon? Round the edges of the big lagoon was best, with a bit of bacon rind. In the winter of 1963, we skated on the big lagoon. Also made 3/4 of an igloo in one of the set of curved steps, before the parky told us to remove it. They rounded up all the swans because it was frozen so hard, and put them in the big black wooden hut – I suppose it was some kind of shelter, but it had a door. I remember all the flapping and screeching. Our dog Sally used to chase them, but once they chased her until she fell into the small lagoon. Also do you remember the ‘rude’ postcards in the stands by the ice cream? Barley sugar twists in the windows? The fantastic mahogany and brass toilets? And the huge numbers of daddy-long-legs that used to gather in the summer under the colonnades? Happy days!

Now that photo brings back memories. Not of riding on the train, but operating them at the weekends and school holidays. At the right of the picture can be seen the platform, and, just to the right but out of sight was the operators’ hut. I spent many days sitting there controlling them, two foot pedals for the two station sections and the master switch for the “country” section. Worst part was if one of the trains stopped on the sharp curves and needed a push start to get it moving again. I don’t know why but I often got a static shock from them.

Behind the photographer was the roundabout and that had the power switch in the center. On a quiet day, there was often only one person running both the trains and the roundabout so you would switch it on, push the roundabout to help the motor get going, jump on, from the inside, then jump off to the outside and then, leaving the roundabout running, get the trains going.

In winter, they were taken up to London and set-up in one of the big shops for the Christmas. No “Elf an Safty” to tell us it couldn’t be done.

My family ran the Cafe at the Lagoon from the early 1950s to the late 60s. Headed by my grandma, my uncle then my father served nixious cups of tea and egg and tomato sandwiches along with Eldorado ices. The family also ran the kiosks in the parks. Many a time, in the 1950s and 60s, I’ve buttered bread or poured tea to the sound of leather hitting willow.

To Chris Edwards: I knew a Johnny Edwards; he was a boxer and worked on the building sites. I wonder if you are related?

Similar to my cousin Barry’s comments: our family owned and ran the cafe in the 50’s and 60’s. It was always an exciting and fun place to visit when I was a small boy. I remember buying a wooden sail boat at the cafe and sailing it on the large lagoon.

I can remember skating on the lagoon in the 1950s. My brothers and sisters and I spent many, many happy times at Hove Lagoon during the 50s and 60s. It hasn’t really changed that much.

Hello David et al. I am hoping you can help. I would like to use this lovely photo in vbites, the cafe at the lagoon and any other old photos of the lagoon. If anyone would like to help me with where I can get old photos of the lagoon, that would be great. David, with regards to this lovely photo of you at the lagoon, I was wondering if this was ok and may I have your blessing to do this? Could you please, when time allows, perhaps contact me on [email protected] . Thank you.

My birth certificate states 48, Coleman Avenue as the place my parents lived. Is there anyone out there who lived near that address in 1936? So many different surnames appear there at that time.

Message deleted. [ Hello Shirley. I am afraid that we are no longer permitted to publish requests for information about Brighton and Hove residents for data protection reasons. Good luck with your research] 

Does anyone remember a mechanical clock nearer to the Brighton and Hove border – pelicans came out when it chimed?

Hi Emma, I think you are referring to the Guiness Clock. Enter this in the search facility at the top of the page and you will find lots about it, including pictures.

Regards, Andy

Hove Lagoon - access and status ?

Well-known member

Hi, I know Lagoon Watersports run a diinghy school at Hove Lagoon, but can anyone here tell me whether they have exclusive access ? Or can anyone turn up with a boat (like my Tramp) and sail it ? I did email the council but haven't had a reply yet so... Thanks, Boo2  

wiggy

I used to work at the lagoon and it used to be the case that you had to prove 3rd party insurance and pay a small charge to use the lagoon. I believe it is shared between the model yacht club abd hove lagoon watersports. Give Hove lagoon a ring, they will be able to answer in a flash. http://www.lagoon.co.uk/  

harveydawkins

Good and bad news - you can launch a craft on Hove Lagoon - there is a day fee of £10 payable to the centre. Bad news the council will not let vehicles access the Lagoon area so you can not drive a boat to the waters edge. You will have to carry it ! You can hire laser Picos on the sea or Lagoon from the centre or larger boats Stratos and yacht charter from the Lagoon's other centre at Brighton Marina If in doubt just call 01273 42 48 42 visit www.lagoonwatersports.co.uk

ONE OF OUR MEMBERS IS BOLDLY EXPLORING THE STRANGE NEW WORLD OF 3D PRINTING

hove lagoon model yacht club

BILL PARKER - 3D IOM VISIONARY

hove lagoon model yacht club

3D printing has been around in our imagination for a while. Back, for instance, in 1978 Theodore Taylor imagined a 'Santa Claus machine' which could scoop up material - rocks from the Moon or rocks from asteroids - process them inside and produce just about any product: washing machines or teacups or automobiles or starships.

More limited machines - food synthesizers in particular - had existed in the Star Trek universe since the 1960s, although it wasn't until the 1980s and 'Star Trek:The Next Generation' that replicators came into their own, magicking into existence everything from uniforms to replacement anti-matter relays to Captain Picard's earl grey tea.

Out in the real world, in the 2000s additive manufacturing (AM), particularly 3D printing using polymer technologies, had started to become a reality. Recent manifestations have been Rymans, the High Street stationers, starting in 2014 to sell 3D printers for domestic use. While the same year brought the printing aboard the International Space Station of a ratchet wrench from a design file uploaded from the Earth.

hove lagoon model yacht club

Perhaps the time has come to stop imagining and start applying this technology to building model racing yachts.

" My passion has always been to build model racing yachts in wood, it’s a relatively inexpensive, quick building process and relatively easy to repair/maintain

I have built wooden model racing yachts from both Brad Gibson and Mark Dicks designs, nothing beats the feeling of getting a home built model across the finishing line first

I became interested in 3D printing a number of years ago, I liked the idea of making some of the internal items for the models out of plastic, unfortunately for me the cost of the 3D machine was prohibitive.

During the second lockdown I came across 3D printing groups on social media, my interest was re-sparked, I started following some groups, reading with interest.

After some research I opted for the Creality Ender 3 V2 3d printer, it had really good reviews and gave a building platform of 235x235x250mm, sufficient for printing an IOM in 7 sections

The design I chose to build was a Mark Dicks IOM Visionary, the designs were purchased through an Australian model shop web site and downloaded.

Wow! the next bit caused some grey matter problems and more than a few sense of humour failures... The files (plan) are downloaded as STL files, these need to loaded into a Slicer program, sliced ( like a loaf of bread) and saved to an SD card.

The SD card is loaded into the 3D printer and bob's your aunt... no, really there’s a whole new learning curve to get the printer to produce your parts, thank goodness for YouTube and Mark Dicks' support.

The items can take from a few minutes to print, others took around 25 hours, all printed parts are glued together with superglue, all parts have location marks so it’s a bit like an airfix model in construction.

I’m still a little way off completing this project, but I’m really looking forward to seeing how she performs.

Having stripped out my IOM Alternative I had all the additional items needed, so the costs have been £199 for the printer and £25 for the plastic filament.

I would just like to add how helpful Mark Dicks has been in getting me this far."

hove lagoon model yacht club

Further detail from Bill:

STRENGTH The hull is glued together with superglue, the joints are extremely strong, the hull is designed to be different thicknesses in different areas, there is also some internal structure, different filaments offer different amounts of flex, I use PLA+, it's 10 times stronger than PLA and offers more flex. The strength is in the plastic filament melting correctly and bonding together, this is where the correct 3D printer setup comes into play

HEAT You need to note, the melting temperature of plastic filament is low, light colours need to used for the hull, do not leave in a unventilated car on a summer's day

SALT WATER The plastic filament is made from corn starch, it won’t last long if you moor it up in salt water, having said that if you search YouTube you will see that they have just 3D printed a full size coastal power boat.

WEIGHT From what I’ve seen on 3D yacht building social media site it’s comparable with more conventional layups

TIME TO MAKE THE NEXT ONE There’s very little clean up after a part is printed, maybe some supports to remove, so if everything printed correctly first time you could probably print and assemble one in 7-10 days

NEXT STEPS - AS AT APRIL 2021 I’ve still some work to do, fit the winch lines, tweak my rigs to fit, fit the ballast weight and add any corrector weights, but I’m looking forward to coming to sail it at Hove and see how she performs.
