Mark.

And now you've been on the Telly!!!!!!

Anglia TV had about 15 seconds on the 6 o'clock slot and THERE MAY BE MORE!!!!!

I told the boss that it was worth going yesterday!

Thanks again to M & B

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/ 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.

At least they didnt film me joining Tug Kenny's exclusive club
Still it all helps in getting Mayhem out there.

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

I never saw anyone with a TV camera

Yeah right ! ::)

[chingdevil]

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

By the way Steamboatphil your sausage is ready


Brian

[SteamboatPhil]

Thanks Brian
Can you keep Sausage until I see you again, I've still got the damp bun.
Straight running------backwards----surely not------

The Straight/free running winner running backwards is........................

Phil, you will NEVER live this one down!!!

[Ghost in the shell]

Mark, have ya sorted the leak out on the boat yet?

[andygh]

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

[Stavros]

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

[Martin (Admin)]

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!

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 

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  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 

[Made it to 80 (25p Richer now)]

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)

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.
