Don't worry Bill, I'll be there with an armfull of straight runners, springers and the tea urn, bad weather don't scare us (Stavros on the other hand !!!) oops mustn't be nasty to Stavros he's my stopper, with out whom straight running can be a dull, and you tend to loose a lot of boats !!!!

I may be able to be there, if Bill can add another tent to his booking. I shall bring the Higgins Hellcat http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8783.0, and the S.M.B.C. Club Perkasa http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=12000.0, which I haven't got more pics of yet, was dark and miserable the other day and everyone else was busy, so I had to take them with one hand on tranny and other on camera (the outcome wasn't very good).  We also have a pasting table I could bring if needed. Would it be needed Bill? Have a couple of other useful bits that I could bring with me.

Hi Andy
£5 per night. I got the 2.4 set up OK last night. I had to reset the servo arms and it all went very well after that. Even the fail safe works.

If your boat does not have lights, I have seen those snap and shake yellow glow sticks used to interesting effect.

Night sails, great fun.
