Hi All
we are gutted that Wickstead has been cancelled for what ever reasion. The way I see it is we pick up dust our self off and move on.

Now Wickstead had the advantage of beening in a good central location, with having good  roads from the north south and west and the east.
Any on can turn up and pay wickstaed entrance fee  to get in to the park and use the lake.
So  while we wait to see what mayhem 2013 will be, why done we do an unorgnised mayhem2012. Ok there will be no traders on tea/coffey tent
but there is the lake and hope fully some good weather.
We all injoy this show lets not let it die. All we need is a frequency chart/board for 27mhz and 40 mhz.
So if we turn up on June 2,  2012 Sat and a fun day .

So what do you all say are we in or not.

John

This is an idea that has already been talked about by the committee. However we do not need to upset WPMBC any more so that maybe next year we can go back.

It has already been said but it is not a good idea to just turn up to use Wicksteed Park lake, WPMBC sails on there regularly so we do not need to turn up and upset them. Venues for next year are being looked at, so this year is just a sabatical next year Mayhem 2013 will be better than ever, where ever it is.

Have the steering committee given thought of approaching the management of Ellesmere Port Boat museum as to a venue...very easily accessible and a lot of water on two split levels to sail on.....just a suggestion.
neil.
Worth thinking about Neil.  :-))

Scoops kind offer seems a good one. Can we give it some more thought and comments please? An informal meeting would still be nice. John.

I second that, I see no reason why we should let our fun be spoiled...  Obviously without the camping and all the amenities offered by wicksteed it would attract less people but I think it would be nice to just have a forum gathering where we can all sail, we could still hold some competitions...

Hi Scoops,

PM me you phone no. please.

  Martin 
  :-)

I can offer any Sunday at Corby Boating Lake (about 7 miles from Wickies) as a stop gap for this year, free lakeside parking, cafe, toilets, two purpose built launch area's for Model Boats, dawn to dusk sailing but no overnight camping I'm afraid. IC welcome  :D
The cafe's all day breakfasts are superb.
I say any Sunday just as long as it doesn't clash with any of our BMPRS racing dates.

Cheers

 Hope Scoop can be taken up on his kind offer, nice meeting up with Mayhem folks.
       By the way Bob, Dave's accident didn't completely stop him 'fingering the till' - he sold me an £8.95 gizmo from his car boot  O0 -  and then took me on an advisary shopping spree to other traders! - how's that for service!  :D
