I am not young; however, in the Selly Oak Birmingham area we have (or did have) a very useful facility for anyone. Model Engineers plus. This was a model boating pool donated by the Cadbury Family many years ago for use by anyone for model boats of any type e.g. no restrictions that I know about. This is called the Valley pool and was the haunt of model boat enthusiasts from sail to I/C engine powered models. This was just one of the many things that Cadburys did for their own staff and people living and/or working in the area. The pool was used by many modellers and on a summer evening people used to visit the pool just to watch the boats and of course, see the children playing with models bought by their parents as presents or saved up for or built from kits whatever and why shouldn't they?
