Does that thing fit a Zen Mark?

Looking forward to it. Only 17 days now

As Martin has quite rightly said the Mayhem event is a tea total family event, it is the evenings you have to watch out for

Note to self remember to pack the ibuprofen

As the event gets closer I feel its time to get a few boats out, and think of a pile of excusses why I keep getting beat at straight running----maybe there is something to this new fangled wireless control type thing---hummmmm.

Of course its tea total----then the sun goes down

Will have my new toy with me---clue---Mr Dean-----Beale Park------one or two much loved £20 notes

Will we be having a bring and buy ?

Right better start loading the car--could take a while
And just to show you how upto date our club is, we do run this wireless control thing----see

Martin,

I must appologise, I did not intend my beer post to suggest the event might be a boozy weekend away. One of my other hobbies is brewing and in a rather cack handed way i was trying to show what can be done with a little imagination. I have re-read my post and can now see how it may have read to other members.

Once again appologies to all who may have been worried by my post.

Lee

No need to apologize old man,

Mayhem at Wicksteed is a Fun Family event and we want everyone to come, meet old friends, make news one,
sail your boat, sail someone else's boat, watch other people sail their boats, look in awe at the boats on display,
chat with fellow modellers, meet the traders, enter the fun competitions... eg, beating SteamboatPhil at Straight
running , etc, etc, etc......

.... and then in the evening when the park has closed, and the Bar B Q starts, Stavros sets fire to his table, then you
may , if you all been good Mayhemers, have a small bottle of grog!

BTW: I'm now in round 6 or negotiations with 'Mrs Mayhem' for a chicken curry/stew/casserole/cock-au-vin for the Bar B Q.

Cause someone got a belt ( electrical shock) of the battery they used to use and fell in the water. Opps

Tea & coffee all day for me.
However beer and BBQ sounds very good for the evening time

I have some insanity sauce for those that wish to partake! If you don't know what it is don't ask!!

Dueller · « **Reply #152 on:** May 13, 2010, 07:38:08 PM »

I've not tried insanity, but i have seen it. I have some Encona in the cupboard but it gets used very sparingly.

Nothing better to zing up your sandwiches at a race meeting than a nice grease/ petrol/ glowfuel/ lake water combo. I've not gone to one yet where I haven't ended up with slightly odd tasting lunch...

That would explain why you are like how you are then Andy.

To much nitro in your rolls mate ain't good for you. Now petrol on the other hand is fine.
Anyway lets get back on track and talk about the main event of the year.
The sun is going to shine all weekend the water is going to be claim just like me. Really looking forwards to it now, Just 2 more weeks at work then we will be there.

chingdevil · « **Reply #155 on:** May 14, 2010, 11:39:30 AM »

Sorry for the diversion Martin

We all got carried away talking about the evening and forgot the main event the day time fun, I will do a penance for my sins of drinking a can of Coca Cola

I've got shedloads of stuff to shift. Will the RNLI be in attendance again? The proceeds from the sales of my items will go to them.

Colour or B/w - any scale.
The secret phrase is - "Eee, it be a bootiful daaaye!" or "Why aye lass. Whereup them modellie boats?"

Hi, are boiler test certificates required for boilers under 3bar/litre ? As I'm not going to have enough time to get mine tested.
Hoping to make it up on sunday with the empire & the swordsman. I'm meant to be on call that weekend , but hopefully will be able to swap days

cheers Glenn

Did you get that Jaguar running in the end? We're desperately needing IC Demo'ers by the looks of it, Bill doesn't want to run his and most of BMPRS will be away at Kingsbury...

dan · « **Reply #173 on:** May 14, 2010, 11:19:26 PM »

i cant get it running, i might bring it up to see if someone can get it running for me

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #174 on:** May 15, 2010, 08:08:33 AM »

Hi Knoby (Glen)

No you will not need a boiler certificate if you are under the 3 bar litre (I may have my test equipment with me, if so I will test your boiler if you like)

No what shall I bring......

Well something that floats, but doesn't necessary go straight

Got to get it alltogether now as I'm off working Israel Monday and get back the day before I head to the great event that is Mayhem----
pauseing briefly to pick up AndyN, pop into his Nans house, have huge fry-up breakfast, watch Andy put up my awning because I'll be too full to move.
