sorry guys, but my friends had a bad turn done to them by a not so honest person at the last show. So won't be attending again.

Got better results selling here on mayhem. At least the buyers were genuine.

0ne bad egg at the show does not relate to the
guys running the b&b which has had nothing but
good reviews from the Mayhemmers that attend.

The fact you had a bad experience should not
discourage others from attending.

As the Sage says, suit yersel meduck

it certainly doesn't ned, and I was in touch with the organisers of the event who were very supportive and very annoyed that such an event took place, and said they would be watching out this September.

however it was a long drive and my friends were saddened that a fellow modeller could do this to others, and that is why they are staying away, so as not to cause confrontation with the person, to what is noted as a very good show.

It is buyer beware, i flog surplus servos, i test them in front of the buyer, i bought a model heli, a chinook from a guy, just to have some fun with, it was faulty, hey ho, £20 down the drain, but it wont put me off, i will be there again, with still more servos, but i have to laugh, one tight "bottom" commented he can get cheaper new, were from? He showed me the add, on ebay, futaba FAKES, one flea in the ear later, i dont sell crap, i dont own crap, So dont despair, get the guys phone number, ring it there and then, its used, but it should still work, i always offer my details, as should others, Its a great event, superb club event, theres more brass than muck there, the fun is digging the good stuff out! Anyone have any aircraft stuff, bring it along,

Hi Colin , Cant wait , it is always a great do . ( good bacon buttys as well )

Regards Dave

I now know the fully unsavoury details of the members reasons above for not attending, it borders on criminal, its certainly not ethical, and not what i would expect of a model maker, BUT, its still a good do, and the incident was not to do with the merchantable value of an item,not really anything to do with the swapmeet,its still full of good clobber to root through, great gear, great food, and a great atmosphere, i will have 200 servos there, in great condition, you can see them working,

mrsgoggins · « **Reply #10 on:** September 13, 2016, 07:45:42 pm »

I heared a rumour about pea and ham soup being added to the menu. So many options!

alan cantwell · « **Reply #11 on:** September 13, 2016, 07:48:08 pm »

Oh hell, bang goes the diet,

alan cantwell · « **Reply #12 on:** September 13, 2016, 07:52:56 pm »

Had a couple of messages asking about servos, i have hi tech and futaba, i dont have cheap hobby king rubbish, Anything that i have thats not futaba or hitec will be cheap, these are all out of de commisioned models, some are newish, all are used, all are less than half price, and you can see them all working on a tester,

I don't know what happened at this bring & buy but certainly got me intrigued !! Sounds like some not very nice people done something bad.But hopefully won't put the dampeners on things and a good time is had by all this year.

alan cantwell · « **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2016, 09:50:03 pm »

I can assure you it had nothing to do wirh the swapmeet, just an item that as being delivered there to a guy who had a stall, the transaction did not go well, but, again, no fault of the swapmeet, or the fantastic home club, its well organised, great guys, fantastic food ( if they dont burgers). and bargains to be had,

TheLongBuild · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2016, 10:07:59 pm »

I think the 1 negative comment about an individual, I might add and not the meet has been done to death, I have never been but have only ever heard good reports about this event and that there are some good bargains usually to grab.

Move on promote the good about this event not the negative.

Stavros · « **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2016, 10:24:16 pm »

Well said Larry...we SHOULD be promoting shows however big or small they are and NOT dragging something up that happened OUTSIDE the show...I know exactly what happened and I can say it was NOTHING to do with the show....Best of luck lads with the show,long may it last

Dave

alan cantwell · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2016, 10:49:28 pm »

captain bligh · « **Reply #18 on:** September 14, 2016, 10:53:33 pm »

Couldn't agree more shouldn't let one person or incident spoil it ! In the past mow move on good luck with the bring & buy show boys

Dave Cook · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2016, 06:37:24 pm »

Its a great do , there is nothing negative to say about the show, you must be MAD to not go.

week to go

alan cantwell · « **Reply #21 on:** September 24, 2016, 11:02:53 pm »

Well, its upon us, i am takng oodles of various quality 2.4 trannys, some older, but good, 27 mhz and oodles of servos, all under half new price, all working, i hope those that come have a good time, and pick up a nargain or two

alan cantwell · « **Reply #22 on:** September 25, 2016, 02:40:58 pm »

Well, its been, its gone, high points, the ladies in the kitchen, i go to a fair few swapmeets, i run 2 of our own! Yet nowere do we get fed like this, bacon butties, pea and ham soup, cheese and onion pie, meat and potato pie, mushy peas, apple pie and cream!! 20 out of ten for the boat club ladies, and the guys best in the land! Brought some home for tea too, so, thats the food, now the actual event, Hmm

Lot of great looking boats, 2 model shops, some a tad expensive for some tastes, but probably equate to hundreds of hours work, but folk dont recognise that aspect, some of the servos and radios found new homes, still got loads left, i got cheesed off tight guys lecturing me on hobbi kings servo prices, if thats what you want, go for it, but dont compare the two! it was quieter than usual, but well attended, roll on next years!

Dave Cook · « **Reply #23 on:** September 25, 2016, 06:44:40 pm »

Great Dooo as always , Thanks to all at Mutual for there hard work.

Dave

JIM WORNER · « **Reply #24 on:** September 25, 2016, 10:42:41 pm »

Once again many thanks, had an enjoyable time; went to sell and came away with 2 kits!
See you in the spring I hope. Many thanks to all the "Mutuallers" for all their work.
