For those who are staying over on site How about making Saturday night BBQ night sail LOUD shirts, night???
It could be a bit of fun and would look good on the web site.

I'm up for it. I don't know anyone from the forum, but would quite happily contribute some BBQ items and beer. Do you BBQ individually or as a communual group?

Bill, we have always had a BBQ on the sat night down by the lake, where we burn burgers, sasuages, Stav's table, and any boat thats no behaving itself.

Al---bring lots of cake

is there a pass to print out to get reduced park entry fee like in the past few years.

chingdevil · « **Reply #82 on:** May 04, 2010, 06:41:22 PM »

I know in the past forum members have asked about a Mayhem badge, I presume this is in case they forget their name after the BBQ

. This one is mine, just alter the details print and the job is a good un, as they say

See you all there

Brian

Yes. I publish that later this week. Half price Park entrance fee - £6 £3

Don't forget, Chingdevil will be running the Springer competitions.
They will also be Footie racing, Scale towing, Club 500, Warship patrols, Lifboat boys, ~~OMRA~~ Power Boat display, Seaport tug display - we do need a few ~~Kettles~~ Steam boats to put on a display!

Awards for Springer winners, Club 500 race boats, voted favourite boat, steering competition, most ambitious project, furtherest travelled visitor, best kit build or conversion, anyone that beat SteambBoatPhil at straight running, funniest sinking of the weekend, best joke or laugh of the weekend, best banger from a bar b q and other awards to be decided ~~on the spur of the moment~~, after studious and in depth consideration.

What a Model Boat Mayhem Cap, shirt or fleece? Steamboat Phil will be bringing an arm full!

Martin (Getting really excited now! )

OMRA display

Careful Martin, Danny'll give you an earful about that...

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #86 on:** May 05, 2010, 09:09:43 AM »

Sorry guys, corrected. Not OMRA, although they are most welcome, as well as NOMRA (National Offshore Model Racing Assn).

.... there will be a POWER Boat Display.

......... "Smell my exhaust pipe!"

PS. Andy, do you fancy helping me with a simple steering course?

omra85 · « **Reply #87 on:** May 05, 2010, 10:37:20 AM »

No problem, thanks for the clarification Martin.
Andy and Bill will be there all weekend flying the flag for NOMRA (might be renamed very soon ... ), a few others and I will be coming for Saturday (racing on Sunday, I'm afraid).
I think both of them will have problems with running any course on the Wicksteed lake - they've both got faster boats than last year

My "Bear" went into hibernation and has refused to get up (lazy so-and-so) so will not be putting in an appearance this year (the hull is now doing a sterling job of supporting part of a new local housing estate

)
We may have to get some of these "club 500" thingys - after all, we're only there for the FUN

Cheers
Danny

Friday I'm there to set up so give me something to do and I'll do it (within reason of course

)

I'll also run the IC demo again if you like, provided I don't have to do the PA bit...

Bill D203 · « **Reply #89 on:** May 05, 2010, 08:48:27 PM »

Don't worry about the PA bit Andy. I will be there from Friday eve till Sunday afternoon & I will be happy to do it.
Danny is right My new boat will be on show ONLY this year. The lake is just to small. However if we get the use of the big lake out the back then we could give it ago. Got my Thames boat nearly done now so it will be there and Oscar springer, Gas Springer + my Nomra boat.
Oh yes If you look in Model boat mag last month and again this month you can see some brill pics of my new NOMRA (soon to changed name) boat.

Wallet? I don't need my wallet Mark, there's this infamous £20 note floating about...

chingdevil · « **Reply #102 on:** May 07, 2010, 10:32:46 AM »

Rich

I would check with Martin on the first two, as for the third that is entirely up to you mind you if she can cook a good BBQ then the answer is yes

Only joking, I am sure your ladyfriend will enjoy it, Phil knows how to burn most things, so the BBQ is in safe hands
