Now Ghost why on earth would you want fuel for a barbeque I would have thought that FOOD to put on it would be a safer bet

I had a go at mixing my own glow fuel a while back, worked well in the plane I tried it in, but the boat and car engines don't like it, so any surplus left over from burning Stav's table will be for the barbie ;)

Martin

Would there be a problem if we want to let a child have a go of a boat to let them loose in the dock area, as long as there was no conflict of frequencies. My thought was if the footies are running you would not want, say a springer in amongst them.

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!

thanks :)

as for kids running boats, (sorry, children, cant call them kids nowadays), im sure we have a few boats that are slow enough for them to handle.  anyone got any pool noodles that can be used to wrap around a designated "public play boat" that way if they smack someone elses boat, then it won't do any damage.

I can't get there until Sat morning about 10am (so should have the gazebo up for tea time ... )
Then a nice barby in the evening - with lots of tins/bottles and jovial chit chat.
Back Sunday morning to watch the frolics followed by a nice nap after lunch and home AND DRY for tea!
Sounds good to me  :-))

  Will many people be around on Sunday? I have to work Saturday, and it's a longish drive down from Yorkshire. Should get away about 1630, maybe arrive 2000 Saturday evening. Will anyone be at the park for the odd libation?

  Despaired of ever finding time to finish one of my own boats, so I've bought a Fairmile C through Ebay. Must be mad, giving it its baptism of fire in front of a bunch of perfectionists like you lot.
