Hi Folks,

Hopefully i'll be attending this year with a few models.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in this thread but i wish to display a couple of my models. I'm not a member of any club and was wondering how i got about it?

Right ho chaps, back from my travels, finished decorating the hall its boat time. I have booked my camping (until the Monday on the firm belief its going to be really sunny) and to celebrate Stavro's forthcoming nuptuiles  O0 O0. S :-))o with just a few weeks to go  I have been dusting of the boats, trying to find all the bits of Radio control stuff that I need (hummm) well I think I need, but of course getting the most important thing ready....the tea urn  :-))
traight running will of course once again be the main focus  (yeah right)  with shouts from the crowd such things as "I thought they were supposed too go straight" and "poor chap has he not heard of radio control"   so no different from last year then  {:-{
And of the course I will have a pile of Mayhem swag with me (T shirts and sweatshirts) so bring some of your earth pounds.
Right time to fill the caravan with beer and boats

Welcome back from the dark side of life Phil.  See thats what happens when you sell them there battery things ! you have to pay by doing the decorating mate. Just about got my boats ready now so see you there. I'm even thinking of getting the Friday off if i can help set up the stuff.

Andy, that 4 bladed prop on the back will NEVER work - you can't have a constant 90 degree pitch  :P

Martin - making life difficult  %) - the little old ladies in the Oxfam shop looked very strangely at me when I asked if they had a sombrero - and when I mentioned thick black moustaches ....... I got thrown out!!  {-) {-) {-)

Cheers
