Really looking forward to the 2012 Convention, it promises to be bigger and better as it beds in at Haydock

I'll be there, am trying to get our club (Potteries MBC) to do a stand but they don't seem to like doing shows for some reason? Dave.

Yes I agree Dave, as committe member I will put this forward....

Can anyone let me know what the cost is to have a display at Haydock please?

Thanks

Russ

I think between the 2 of us Russ we've got enough to fill a stand anyway. Dave.

Free for clubs

Number 6 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 01, 2011, 10:26:12 am »

I thought it was but didn't like to say in case I was wrong. I think our club would complain at free though.

Who do I contact and are the tables supplied?

Thanks

Hi Guys,
Just to let you know that due to a recent forced stay in hospital with a triple bypass, I am not able to work for 8 weeks or drive for 6. Which means that I will not be attending the Convention in person or with my stand Hunter Systems. However my colleague Dave Watts from Mastman will be carrying a lot of my stock so that I do not let anyone down.
So if you want to purchase Hunter Systems products etc - go along to the MastMan stand.
Thank you for reading this.
All of the best
Graham

Hi
Not long now to the Premier Model Show in the northwest. Liverpool MBC are attending with our new look stand. Like the Phoenix we have risen from the ashes of the fire at our boat house. We have had to move to new sailing waters in Newsham park, and are gradually re equipping ourselves. Unfortunately we do not have a boathouse, but have the use of a room in the local comunity centre for meetings etc. The friends of Newsham park and the park forum group have been very helpful, hopefully in the future we may have some storage space in a sports pavilion that has been built. So when we get the space we can start holding regattas and invite other clubs as there is no restriction on parking as we had at our previous water.

Wishing you well Graham and a speedy recovery.... leave the women alone!

Stan · « **Reply #15 on:** August 01, 2012, 05:52:49 pm »

Hi Graham. Sorry to hear you will not be attending Haydock this year. It has all the makings of a great convention with lots of trade support and lots of clubs as well. This year the convention team have got a 7mt by 9 mt pool and this should prove popular. No doubt there will be lots of pictures on Mayhem. All the best and hope to see you may be, before the end 2012.
