30 days to go and counting to my nervous breakdown,31 for the second and 32 to be committed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Right seriously though for one minute is there anything that anyone can suggest in the way of on water activities that would go down well.EXCEPT THROWING ME IN OR ANY DAFT IDEAS LIKE THAT.I know what you lot are like!!!!!!!!!!

one suggestion so far is a night sail BUT this is not possible at the venue due to the gates being locked at 8pm,BUT Ghost has so kindly volunteered to do this on the opp side of the lake at the Lagoons.

So far what I have proposed timing to be confirmed are as follows

Springer RUGBY
Mayhem 500 racing including springers as a max motor size of 500 is used
Tug Towing Sd14 st George is coming down at 14feet should be good fun
Steering course
Club 500 races ????
Straight Running demo by Steam boat Phil and in No Mustang at the moment marks case battelship reversing manoeuvre's ;)
OMRA?MAKRA demo runs on the main Lake
Free sailing ONLY FOR THE BRAVE on the main lake
Same type vessel parades
Lets see how far we can throw Martin and if he Floats competition
Tow Stavros around the Main lake lest see Ghost if your Southampton can do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bet it can't

There will hopefully be some traders in ATTENDANCE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHO YET Wait and see
And yes they will be selling their wares

Free Tea and Coffee,and soft drinks courtesy of STEAM BOAT PHIL,don't forget to thank him.


Mark don't upset Phil with your backwards straight running he will only sulk and we need him again


Now what do you lot want I really suppose that I am asking for trouble asking this but suggestions please.
And yes i have ordered some fine weather

Stavros/Martin

Do we have any banners signs that can be attached to lamp posts and the like in the village? A3 on hard board attached by wire.
Could do the car parks.

This may generate some interests from tourists and locals, and may boost membership of boat clubs locally.

Could you please bring some electricty as well please !!
I will have a small generator on site running the PA, so we could try running your DVD,not sure it would like it though. I would bring your gazebo, if only to keep the sun off ...........

hi there i do not mean to be a kill joy. BUT check with the local council + highways dept . My local model rail way club has a show once a year and we can but signs . The fine is up to £2000 per sign. The only signs you can get are AA or RAC and they ant cheep. I am say this as i don't want any one to get a fine. Personally i think there a great idea.

Not that I think you will need any help Stavros, but fleet support is always available should you require low level battle support. O0




That Kayak's about 8 feet too long for my likings  O0

Hi Bill fraquency control will be in operation on the weekend if someone has the frequency he/she will havew to relinquish it whilst you have your runs.One can not hog a frequency all day.I just dont know who is on what till the day.I occasionally run on that but invariably I am on XXX not willing to say on public forum

Sravors

Fire pestilence and flood permitting we will be there though I have a slightly bigger hurdle that we may not be there and thats the imminent arrival of a new baby (I'd better be there for that) but if we can we will be in attendance though we maybe slightly smaller than usual (display that is) as I may need a fast getaway car not a mercedes sprinter       

Thanks Mark

Stavros,
I was determined to get to Llanberis for the weekend but a crisis has intervened.
Hope all goes well, you deserve a good result.
Regards,

Good Luck
With the weekend Stavros, unfortunately SWMBO insists we go to her nieces wedding. I personally would rather stand on the edge of a lake in the pouring rain than do that, oh I did that at Wickstead  {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)

Hope the weather is good, and try not to burn you tables again ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

I want to see lots of  pictures

Hi Stavros,

How about taking a few pictures of the venue to help whet our appetite?
