I enjoyed my first ever visit to the meeting and saw some terrific models - particularly the lifeboats and Ray111's 'personal' display - I wish I could make models like that. :-\ ;) O0

'Mayhem at Wicksteed Weekends' way above the call of duty.... and a thoroughly nice bloke to boot!
( Speedy recovery to Mrs Steamboat too. )
Tomorrow we'll tell you about the straight running competition!
Phil will never live it down! {-) {-) {-) {-)
After a long windy day but with lots of sunshine and bags good humour, Phil proposed a toast to all the
absent Mayhemers. More tomorrow ZZZzzzzzz......... :)
-
Glad you folk had a great day. It looks good in the pics. Hope today (Sunday) is good for you.
I was thinking of you all and hoping you had better weather than I was having here in France. I was going to go sailing on my tod to think about you but it rained like there was to be no more tomorrow!
In the next lot of pics. any chance of putting some names to faces?
Roger in (lonely) France.

Roger,
Unfortunately, we seem to have inherited your weather today. It's persisting down here and has been for at least the last 3 hours. I only live 20 miles from Wicksteed bit I am doubtful about going in these conditions :-\
Enjoy the Vin et Fromage never mind the pleut.
Doug
Not speaking to SWMBO who double booked me yesterday and stopped me going to Wicksteed >>:-(
-
Second pic down in photos 11 me and my tenby joined a VERY VERY exclusive club :o
All will be revelead when all the photos are uploaded when everyone gets home.
As for the day what a brilliant bunch of people you lot are O0 apart from the windy conditions im a bit sunburnt :embarrassed:
What else can i say Martin and Bradders deserve a lot more credit for what they do!!!!
Cheers for a fantastic day and will hope to be along next year.

Martin and Bradders well done what an excellent Mayhem!
Great pictures :)
Looking forward to Mayhem 2009! :D
-
A big "Thank you" to Martin and Bradders for setting up another great Mayhem Weekend.
The setting up and organisation was first class. What a great time, with separate events, clearly running like clockwork. The 'straight running' competition was more difficult than it looks and was great fun. (why did mine go around in circle ?)
Here's to next year
Ken
-
To Martin and Bradders of Model Boat Mayhem in Association with Wickstead Park Model Boat Club, Well done guys on putting this show together. You have managed to keep the FUN {-) element in the event without getting too serious. Hope to see you guys again next year (third time lucky with the weather) - Jag Ramjee - Hovercrafts do it on Air :angel:
-
well it was a good event on the saturday except the wind! lord knows how much water I bilged out of ALL my models,
great to see the straight running chairman of the MPBA get beaten by a destroyer sailing up the course IN REVERSE!!!!!!!!!
and Jay beazley's words will live in infamy as his Taymar slipped below the waves "it Will float!"
-

for next year, I think Stavros is going to need a Springer soda transporter
-
it WILL float!

in the words of James May "oh C**k!"

foggyness is from condensation in the camera's dunk box
-
also I managed to capture a fast boat's prop vortex :D finally!
maybe with stronger light and clearer water, the results will be better.
-
Are they the right way up ghosty or have you got wet inside the camera as well {-) ;)
-
camera was below the water as a fast racing cat sped by a few inches away

A fast racing cat? Was it being chased by a greased weasel or a hot dog? I think we should be told!

A barking banana then O0

Fantastic pic's guys and galls O0
Now I am off to sulk then I may go and seek out the chap who stopped me coming to the event! :'( :'(
R, depressed but happy for you all :)

Hi Just back from a rather damp Wicksteed..... sniff, drip squelch. :(
Rain stopped play today, same as last year.... shall we go for the triple?
Some nutters, sorry, 'die hards' still came out in the rain today and there was hot coffee and tea
while we played batting Spinners from under the shelter of the Mayhem marquee.... Chingdevil won with his
unstoppable, semi dynamic diving Pepsi Springer.... did anyone actually see inside that thing? It seemed quicker,
stronger and more nimble than all the others.... nearly sank StreamboarPhils's Battle class Spring that I was coxswain on! :-\
Stavros wanted to join in but Thunderbird 2 Springer was out of commission ( due to a launch sequence error....
the palms tree didn't lean back far enough.... but the rocket blast smoke was very realistic, along with the smell.....
unfortunately of burning electrics as the magic smoke escaped :( ), so Stav got out his large TID tug and chased us all off. {-)
Jag (Palaform) then let me have a go with one of his hover craft, very interesting in that weather! :o
Turns out I'm crap at steering hovercraft but was good fun And I didn't crash it!
The yachts decided to keep playing in the rain and a guy with a couple of nice warships joined in but it was too much for for me as I was totally soaked through any at 11:00 and we all decided to call it a day.
Captain Kirk and Stavros helped me take down the Mayhem marquee as Bradders said he had to pop back to the caravan
for ......something., strangely enough, he returned just as we had fished packing everything up. :-X
Well that's it for another year.
I toughly enjoyed myself and everybody I spoke to seemed to as well.... mind you I asked them;
"Stay it was a good weekend or do you like the taste of lake water?!" ;D
Special thanks goes out to:
You for coming, those that were able too,
( Mustang Mark, Mrs Mustang, Hanna, Stavros, SteamboatPhil and even Ghost camped and made me laugh till it hurt!)
The Wicksteed Park management team,
The Wicksteed Park model boat club, ( Martin Dale and David Dorrington. )
Steam boat Phil - a truly enthusiastic, generous and hilarious bloke,
Mrs Mayhem, Captain Kirk & Gina,
.....and last and least - BRADDERS without whom, believe me, this event wouldn't have happened! Top bloke. O0
More photos to follow when I've warm ed up and dried out..... ;)
-
It's all my fault, Martin.....
Yesterday here in France I had lousy weather and gave you the sun but today I had the sun and sent you the rain!
Some great feedback, you all seemed to enjoy yourselves, well done everyone.
P.S. Martin, not forgot my promise as an "absent supporter" just a bit delayed.
Roger in France.

Thanks again to M & B

Just got home wet,cold tired and hungry!!!!!!!!!! What an excellent weekend we all had special Personal thanks from me must go to MARTIN AND BRADDERS without you there would not be this event.
I must admit it was so nice to meet all you guys to just put a face to a name,and what has really cheered me up is the amount that have promised to come up to the LLanberis weekend.
Yes true to form I did it again it was My speedy boat that got stuck on the steering cross,now wonder what I can do NEXT year,I also managed to dissconoperate both springers,one burnt out motor in Thunderspringer and Gremlins in Captain Pugwash so it was an excellent weekend ,I WILL BE BACK.
Special mention must go to Steamboat Phil for letting me catch his boats on the steering course but it was him who was CHICKEN and would not put the fast one out.Not to be outdone I decided to have a go at this straight running lark,so to practice I decided to go through the steering canal,and then through the springer goal posts and then scored a PERFECT 10 score in the straight running course and as Phil said he was watching the radio and the rudder WAS NOT USED and he he I used a MARBELHEAD YACHT O0 O0 O0.Funny thing was Phil then decided to have a wobbler,he has now decided this straight running is not for him and he has now taken up Flower arranging,his own words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will post some photos up tomorrow when I have dried out
Thanks again lads a jolly good show roll on next year,NO WAY Hang on LLANBERIS HERE WE COME AUGUST 30, 21 2008

Just had a call from a friend who lives in Norfolk to tell me that they had just seen me on their local news.
If you got http://www.itvlocal.com/anglia/news/ (http://www.itvlocal.com/anglia/news/) it’s about 9 minutes 15 seconds from the start.
Not sure how long it will be up for but it comes across well. You may be able to spot yourself. I'm the mug at the start after the shot of the Lifeboat. {-) {-) {-)
Just like to add a big thank you to Martin and Bradders from the Lifeboat Display Team.
-
"xxxxx", who fillmed me, dealing with Celestia in the chop!
-
At least they didnt film me joining Tug Kenny's exclusive club {-)
Still it all helps in getting Mayhem out there.
Jay
-
What can I say, a fantastic weekend, a big thank you to Martin and Bradders, and this year it did run like clockwork (see what happens when you remenber the tent poles---long story re last year) I enjoyed meeting up with the mayhemers I knew, and those who I didn't, but I do now. I do believe as I was leaving this afternoon it was starting to clear up-----well almost. Wiil post some pics soon.
See you don't have mention straight running in your posts do you (you all know who you are !!!!)
Oh by the way kenny, one of my straight runners goes round in circles
lIke the underwater photo's ghost
Wale is Next then

famous last words "Dont worry, It will float" -

"xxxxx", who fillmed me, dealing with Celestia in the chop!
Well there's part of your 15 seconds of fame gone ghost.
-
famous last words "Dont worry, It will float" -
It did float until the cruiser and i collided :'(
-
I never saw anyone with a TV camera
Yeah right ! ::)
-
Once again a fantastic weekend, well done Martin and Bradders also a big thank you to Mrs Martin for all the tea and coffee very much appreciated.
The weather was the same as last year, which means I have just dried out but my gazebo will take a week or two. It was great to meet so many Mayhemers, old and new.
The new thing has to be Sumo Springers, I appeared to have the best set up until Stavros put his TID on the water. A member from the Wicksteed club was impressed even though I nearly put his springer under water and put a gouge in one side.
I think the straight running competition has got too easy if a model running backwards can win :o :o :o :o :o
By the way Steamboatphil your sausage is ready
Brian
-
Thanks Brian
Can you keep Sausage until I see you again, I've still got the damp bun.
Straight running------backwards----surely not------
Phil
-
The Straight/free running winner running backwards is........................
Phil, you will NEVER live this one down!!! {-) {-) {-) {-)
Mark.
-
Mark, have ya sorted the leak out on the boat yet?
-
Typical, arrived at 2.30, where's everybody gone? :'(
Never mind at least my Grandson enjoyed watching the ducks (Mrs H wasn't overly impressed with the 80 mile round trip just to get wet through though >>:-()
Oh well, try again next year, maybe
-
Andy at approx 113o ish we all made an unanimous decision to pack up and go home due to the weather conditions,no one came this am only who was allready there and the Wickstead club lads.Sorry you had a wasted journey him up there was not being kind at all
Stavros
-
Sorry Andy, you must be the car I saw (.... through my very steamed up windscreen ) coming into Wicksteed as just as I was leaving. :-\
More pictures tomorrow.
-
Only managed Saturday, so missed the really bad weather. Just like to say that the Mayhem weekend brings together the sort of cameraderie that so many other Model Boating venues lack. It's simply the best. Martin and Bradders, you deserve a medal! Don't let the weather put you off - you must return next year. I live just down the road from Wicksteed, and if you need any help in next years set up, just let me know. Kenny - Good to see your Typhoon. Splendid job and looks great in the water!
Jim
-
Sorry you had a wasted journey him up there was not being kind at all
Hey, that's the way it goes sometimes, can't blame anyone for abandonment what with that horrible weather. Anyhow, journey wasn't a total waste, popped in to see my brother in law at St Neots on the way home which cheered up her indoors no end. As I say, will try again next year, though it might test my powers of persuasion to the limit ;D
Sorry Andy, you must be the car I saw (.... through my very steamed up windscreen ) coming into Wicksteed as just as I was leaving
Yep, that was probably us, absolutely no apologies necessary. To be honest I had an inkling when I woke up this morning & poked my head through the curtains, nice weather for ducks I think it's called ;D Besides, if I hadn't been there I'd almost certainly be getting dragged around some awful shopping maul somewhere.
The lot that were camping must have been in a terrible state. Let's hope next year is 3rd time lucky O0
-
Yep great weekend plenty of laughs ( what life is all about ) good company ,started to save for the petrol for next year , whats a little rain just means I can delay the annual bath , Thanks to Martin Bradders and all the team that helped to run everything. Gandalf indeed .......... great pic of my Maggie M she really looks the part in heavy weather
cheers BobB (soon to be very youngat70)

O0
I was there on Saturday only due to the weather forecast, had a great day , bit windy but alteast it was dry, my usual model show companions could not make it so I came on my own , my wife said to me won`t you be bored on your own? not the case at all, as per usual all the familiar faces there to chat to and those I did`t know soon became friends.
That`s one of the great things about this hobby eveone is so friendly ,exchanging ideas , help with builds etc.
thanks to "ghost in a shell "for taking some pics earlier in this thread (thats a good one of my Arun lifeboat at full throttle) saved that one ! cheers.
The event was a credit to those who organised it not just Martin and Bradders who worked hard all day organising comps and giving running commentary but to the backroom boys who ever you are -well done!
Paul.
-
hi all i went on sat my 1st mayhem show & it was great! O0 it was good to put a face to the name many thanks to martin/bradders & all the crew (having seen the springers in action im going to have a go at onr now O0) regards ray111

Bob

Sorry Doug,
A special award was given to Phil Abbott ( SteamboatPhil ) for services to
'Mayhem at Wicksteed Weekends' way above the call of duty
Phil loaned us a very expensive Radio mic,
Provided prizes for various fun competitions throughout the weekend,
Provided much of the Tea, coffee, Sugar, etc.
Did the straight running demonstrations,
Set up his own display of steam boats,
and is one of the most enthusiastic model boaters I've ever met.
.... and a thoroughly nice bloke to boot!
I'll get the photos sorted and we'll tell you about the straight running competition!
Phil will never live it down! {-) {-) {-) {-)
PS: Bradders helped a bit and got a large bottle of his favorite tipple for his trouble..... he should resurface about Thursday! ::)
-
Thanks Shipmate60 and Martin.
A very deserved recipient indeed. O0
I'm still mad at SWMBO who double booked me, and the lunch was mediocre. :'(
cheers
Doug
PS I'm surprised Bradders will be out until Thursday with a bottle of J20 Apple and Mango :angel:
-
A big thank you to Martin and Bradders who thought I was deserving of the award, and of course to Guy who made a fantastic job of it. I does hold pride of place on the shelf, and I feel very proud (and indeed humble ) to have received it, for doing what I, and all us Mayhemers really enjoy doing, boating and talking boats (humm maybe the problem is shutting me up !!!!!)
-
phil, it was a good event, shame about the wind :( oh well, maybe next year it will be better.
why did it never rain or blow hoolies when I went to truckfest???
-
Keep the superb photos coming but we need captions
-
You can't have everything took me all my time to take the photo's and get them up on here remember I'm an old man trying to work modern technology :D

Ken

Then again Ken i have joined your very exclusive club of sinking :'(
I should of sealed the deck down really so its my own fault the wet stuff got in, still on the other hand she was doomed when the cruiser and I struck ::)
Still she run with the bigger lifeboats for 15 minutes before she sounded the DIVE, DIVE, DIVE {-)
Jay
Pictures added - Martin:
The sinking,
The salvage,
The prize for the weekend's only sinking!... we should have got Kenny to present the award! {-)

Stavros, has your marblehead got a swing rig?

no

OK folks - here it is - Wicksteed 2008 - the video
Unfortunately due to some circumstances at home I haven't been able to do more than a very little editing (adding a title, eliminating the parts where I forgot to switch off the camera and got lots of sky and editing out some audio swearing in the background) so enjoy what there is.

....OK so I went away and did something else....
When I got back Don's vid. had loaded. Thanks Don, excellent stuff, it made me yet more sorry I could not get there. I am sending you a pair of thumbscrews for next time so you have less trouble getting info. out of folk. Never thought of Mayhemmers as shy types!
Roger in France.

Loved the vid, made me {-) alot lol good to put some faces to names too, was a cool thing to add in O0 just so wish i coulda gone
Keep up the good works guys and girls
All the best

Thanks a lot for the video! Not many people like to get a camera in the face, but for us who couldn't get there it was great to get names and character to the faces and it made me smile. And all the fantastic boats in action! Seems like you had a great time, wish I could have come too! Please more of this if someone is sitting on a video.

Wish I was there.
Bit far to come, (and getting a bit long in the tooth) maybe one day if I'm spared. The video made it for me I have been reading Mayhem for some time now (5days20hrs45min so it tells me) and its a real faovourite port of call. Well done Martin you have started something here.
I'm enjoying BY's reminises of life in the RFA many is the chuckle over recognisable little incidents.
Keep up the good work and I look in again tonight for the next installments.

did anyone get a pic of Stavros RUNNING OVER southampton??

We arrived back in Sydney, Australia about 5 hours ago from a wet and miserable London, and I'm a bit jet lagged after a 23 hour journey. However, I had to log on to Mayhem to see how things went at Wicksteed. I'm only sorry we couldn't organise it so I could have been there, but it was just not possible. It appears I missed a great weekend, although the bad weather eventually arrived there too, apparently. Some marvellous photos there lads, and well done to Martin and Bradders plus their helpers for what seems to have been a great event. I'm looking forward to getting back up north to home and my shed, after 14 weeks away, and into some boat building - I think I have withdrawal symptoms after being away from my shed for so long.
Regards to all,
Peter.

Stavros,
Great shot of the Yorkshireman #42 really atmospheric. Getting low on the water with the camera can provide some interesting shots.
Pity about the background though - still you cant have everything. :'(

It was obvious the tables were old and that you needed new ones {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
Brian

Well I thought they tasted great, maybe it was helped by all the methes I had been inhaling all day (along with quite a few others I might add---you know who you are)

Hi Martin, thanks for having me there. Saturday was great shame about sunday, got soaked and spend rest of the day and Monday in bed. I am not as tough as i used to be. The thanks to the boss for the supply of coffee. Will do it again, but Moore praying for sunshine. {-) All the best Wolfie.

Martin and fellow Mayhemmers
Sounds like a great outing, despite offending the weather gods on Sunday.
I had hoped to make a first appearance, and was madly square-rigging, but time ran out and my Social Advisor required my presence elsewhere.
This is how far I had got - she may well reach the water tomorrow at Burton after the Footy racing

Sorry Stav you can't pin this one on me i'm innocent :angel: :angel:, it was Brian and Angie. I went back to the tent for food and when I left they were still holding the barbiesand hadn't lit them, when me and youngat65 got back they were lit and on the table. :angel: :angel: :angel:
However I will be the first to contribute to "the buy Stavros a new table fund" {-) {-) {-) {-) O0 O0 O0
Mark.

Oh, how I wish I could have been there. :(
Lovely stories and photo's, must have been a great atmosphere. Going to do my best to come to LLanberis (spelling :-\):)
I couldn't view the video though, "Can't show - check spelling etc." I'll try again.
regards
Gary :)

Stav
Mark is correct he did not start the fires, it was others. By the way you did start a bbq on a table, so we are not all to blame for the damage. Also looking at the tables before they were burnt I think we did you a favour, at least Mark is going to pay for a new one {-) {-) {-) {-)
