Just for you I will bring another Gazeebo
Hi DannyJust for you I will bring another Gazeebo
There you are Bill, if you can't play with your boat - you can play with Stav's antelope {-) {-)
Is there room for a Magnum (not the champagne, the boat <:( )
We can always let them use them for Springer towing contests!!

BillTalkiing of Haircut's Danny. "THE HAIRY ONE" (Andy) at long last been given gas and air and his locks have been shortend. However due to the credit crunch they could only go to the collar line, Alass he was comming round and they had run out of gas. Can we get a whip round to finish the job off.
I was going to go last year but I wasn't prepared! This year I've bought a REALLY heavy duty raincoat {-) {-) {-)
Andy
If I can't have IC on the water, you CERTAINLY won't be allowed to give free haircuts with that {-) {-)
Danny
PS Wonder if Martin could use his influence to let us have a 5 minute 'on the water' demo of your Z and my AA? They're both pretty quiet and could get round on that pond easily. I wouldn't want to try it with anything bigger though :o
Don't see why not. A Hydro or one of your big petrol head boat might be a problem though! %%Good on ya Martin. Down to us then Danny. Your AA and My Z
I'm aiming to come up on the friday morn to help set up, and get this straight runner going.Andy Who do you mean???
And yes, I'll have lots of Strongbow, and yes, it's all mine ;) well theres a couple of beers going for boatmadman if he's coming O0

If there is a Mayhem camping section would it not be better to book us all in as a block booking??
All packed up ready for the long fly back to Heathrow tonight. Got some nice new toys to play with. New engine, tiny video cam for boat +++++
AndyN, what can I get you to volunteer for?
Anything you need me for, any odd jobs
Also I'll get the IC demo sorted :-))

IC demo it is! Remember the lake not very long and it hard concrete edges!
( Good idea Andy. Free tea for you! )
That's what I meant by "survey"! %)
I think you need to add options for boat types too Martin then you will get a handle on the absolute Mayhem that the event is likely to generate.

Will there be any space in anyone's shelter (I can bring a small table)?
Don't know whether this is relevent ........ ;)

This is the third year, do you think it will be third time lucky, no rain????
I have booked up my hotel, but there was a change of location. I've decided to go to the Red Lion Hotel in Kettering and have secured the Friday and Saturday nights, so I should be able to get to the lake on time !! Not bad for £60 eh!
ken
and she'll be fully lit up.
My lighting will be... interesting...
Lets just say there will be a police car in Stevenage that won't be stopping a load of people ;)

chingie, that sounds like an idea!
I will be bringing a ni-cad charger with me as well, and may bring my gel cell charger as well, so if anyone has a genny spare, we will have battery charging. oddly I will have to get my tent out as I can't (officially) sleep in my minivan <*< >>:-( <*< >>:-(, however if I do some late night charging I WILL be staying with the van as its 2 litre diesel engine will be idling so i dont drain the battery.
(be warned it makes a chinook helo or a top fuel drag car seem quiet! :D :D)
one was my tent WITH ME IN IT
Yup I'm organising the submarine races O0
Ghost , don't be mad by using your heater :police: >>:-( if like you mentioned your tent blows over .. Well I would not like to think about it.. GET a better sleeping bag , get a double douvet, sleep on half put other half around you . :-))
Certainly use the heater (vented) while you are awake but not when asleep.
andy, remind me on sometime next week, gas camping stove. (one of those single jet propane ones will do)
They're too heavy, but if you want some metal pole jobbies, then The North Face do the most superb tent I have ever seen, it's about £500 but well worth it, looks like a lunar lander...
The best stoves I've come across are GoSystem

WHAT A SUPERB IDEA!!!!
Let's bubble wrap ghostie, and have a whip round for the postage...

Stav
that also means you're on straight runner duty
Got me waterproof gazebo this morning, already now just need to charge the boats batteries :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
Pasting tables should be fine, so long as you hide them out of the wind.
Yup I'm organising the submarine races O0
does that mean that tug kenny qualifies? {-)
I just want to keep Nord Icelandia away from fast stuff, it will take around 10 minutes to get from one end of the lake to the other at full power.
18v then pep it up to 24v.
As for straight running----some sticks in the water (we are a simple lot)
I always wondered what sins people who wear the deep waders could indulge in :}
andrew
As I am only there on Saturday dose anyone have space under cover for my Makara / Hydro/ Gas springer ?
Which category for "controlled" Flash Steam?
Finally the Model Boat Club have the occasional use of part of the main 30 acre lake should we wish to stage large national events that are simply to big for the normal lake.
But it's a long walk to the other side of the lake when you boat conks out!
You can hire a row boat I guess but I hear there's talk of salvage fees!...... ;)
the large lake, I wander Gemini can ger from one end to tge otger with the tradio set at the backl nank of the event pool.Here are you trying to take over my place as the worst typer Ghost????????
Well from what they have written on their site they are happy to let us use it. Never mind the makara, on that lake you could run the hydro.Andy I don't think you will get away with it, So don't spend much time on the rescue boat plan. Don't get carried away.
With Martin's permission it wouldn't hurt to ask nicely, not all parkies are like ours...
Only problem being that what would we do about rescue?
goodf pointy stavros!Ghost slow down the finger dept you are typeing rap!!
Bill, i trued adding bouyanmcy foam to Celestia, I still had to get wet in 5 feet of water after being rammed by a hovercraft. now I plan to add watrertight compartments
If you really want to run the multi on the small lake, increase the throw on your rudder to about 45 deg
How about "Flash Company"Flash dancer
bing bing clean up on asile 1, whats all that about?
... omra85 banned from Wicksteed!
why do you want to be there by 9ma GHOST THE MIND BOGGLES
Stav
Evening All !
Brian, that's a great idea and much to be encouraged!
Anyone else got a boat that can lend a child to have a go?
PS. Bag of chips on me again Friday night..... for those of us that should be on a diet!
We'll sink or crash a boat in your honour Peter.........
all i am missing now is the gas for the vodka!
fancy stopping it Andy :-))I'm up for anything at all :-))
We'll also be running a sponsorship drive to raise enough money to get AndyN a haircut......... %)
Got to agree with you Bill :-))Definitely your driving Danny, it could br an age thing.
I took the plunge and have been running both boats on 2.4GHz at 4 races so far.
Not a twitch out of them! The boats are still rubbish (or my driving) %) but the Futaba is superb.
The only peg I'll need is the ones to dry the clothes after the annual downpour {-) {-)
Danny
Don't forget your Omra DVD's to play.
Stick next to me Ian, at least we'll be warm with all the blowlamps going O0
Can we flog Ghostie on this bring & buy?Flog him
Mind you who would buy him / it???
We'll also be doing "Bring and Buy", flog off you unfinished projects - Sell, swap or give away your piles of old magazines.
stav, the problem is NOT with your forcast, BUT you do realise good weather on bank holidays is illegal
Bricks/weights for the pool noodles?
if you wanna borrow a boat martin, just bring yourself a tx/rx.
