Right then where do I start so much to say

Right I will get this off my chest first,special PERSONAL thanks to the one and only STEAMBOAT PHIL this guy is a star I can not thank him enough,one other who I shall single out is BARTY 230 WHO IS ANOTHER STAR.Thanks must also go to the members of the Gwynedd Model Boat group for not only attending but getting stuck in.I really must thank Margret without her there would have been no tea and coffee made.
Thanks must go to Mark of A Model World and Ian of The Component Shop who attended.Thanks must also go to the traders who donated prizes

O

Thanks must also go to the Colwyn Bay Club and Holyhead Club for attending nice one lads

Thanks must go to teh OMRA lads who turned up,Bill 203,Gaz I will get that dammed boat running if it kills me,Andyn,another whos name I forget and Miss /sorry old age has taken over,Thanks a lot for putting on shuch a craking display.Bill won teh LLanberis speed demon award,Gaz won teh Welsh leek and some fresh one's for his perseverance and not forgetting Andyn for winnign the straight running comp Well done lads

Special thanks must go to the Warden of the Slate Museum without his overwhelming support this event would not have gone ahead.

Right then what happened well we all had FUN AND EVEN MORE FUN over the 2 days of the event we had over 400 people turn up whether they were Mayhemers,local club members of even Joe public.All I know is that over 50 Mayhemers attended this event.OK not a lot BUT I bet it will treble next year,as yes the Authorities want us back.
Not only do they want us back BUT it has been agreed that free camping and caravaning will be allowed on this site,yes you did read correct FREE.
But wait for it not only does he want us back but he has invited the OMRA crowd to hold a round of the British Championship at Llanberis.

Yes I will be running another event at Llanberis come what may try, and stop me.

On a purely and this is a personal note to all of you out there who did not attend, sorry but you do not know what you missed believe you me.

If the gentelman who own the Battelship in the Long builds photos please contact me or if any Mayhemer knows who he is get his address as he won best in show

Very effective pictures Ghost. How did you get so close to water level - or shouldn't I ask?

camera has a dunk box, so for the low level ones, the camera was partly submerged.

there were some blurred ones in there after I had viewed though them

I wish to add my thanks to Stavros and Steamboat Phil and anyone else who helped organise the weekend. It was a great day and a fantastic venue.

It was good to meet other mayhemmers as well.

Ghost, great pics.

Have you set the dates for next year stav? I need to get it in my diary as soon as possible,

Thanks again.

Well. Made it home 4.75 hours. What a road that A5 is.
What can I add??? Thanks for all your hard work. The Mayhem team. If you run it again try stopping us next year from coming along. We have had a Brillo time playing on so much clean clear water. What a pleasure.
The Pics are very good of my boat. Well done to whoever took them as I know taking pic's of my boat doing 30mph + is not easy.
Any way best get back down to earth and get ready to go to work in the morn.
Cheers one and all and thank you all once again.

It all looks like it was a fantastic weekend, well done to Stavros, and to everyone that took the time to post photos!

Assuming the event will be repeated next year, can anyone tell me if there is any decent B&B accomodation nearby at a reasonable cost? I'd like to plan ahead for a trip down, and camping is definately not on my agenda!

Regards
Eddy

Well Stavros, I may be on the other side of the world but from what I can see you had a superb event there. All credit to you for putting it all together and many congratulations on it being such a success.

I also think that 50 Mayhemers there is quite an achievement so another big congratulations!

I can only hope that I will be at home for the next one but if not, once again my thoughts and best wishes will be with you.

Sorry, couldn't resist

Wow guys! looks like Stavros really organised a hell of a weekend. I really wish I could have come but It's been a hectic one as it is. I will certainly come to any further events organised there.
I really feel I missed out, and I'm sure I did!

Well done Stavros, I wish I could have been there it looks like a great weekend. Looking at the video and listening to the voices and laughter it comes across just how much fun people were having, brilliant. I will have to get better organised for the next one and get there. Cheers, Graham.

Tug---Kenny · « **Reply #486 on:** September 01, 2008, 01:52:50 PM »

I'm sorry I couldn't be there. I was coming, as you know, but had tooth ache all week end. It's now sorted with a missing rear molar and instructions not to do any work today.

Are there any pictures of the scale models? and did the large Waverley make an appearance please?

Hope to to be at the Warwick show later in the year. (gotta get my fix, as they say)

cheers... ken

Hey Stavros,
It was an amazing and impressive weekend i enjoyed it alot

You did a marvelous job and it was nice for us 'petrol heads' to learn about all the other models aswell!

Ghost in the shell · « **Reply #488 on:** September 01, 2008, 02:33:55 PM »

well it was great to see some IC boats running, we dont get to see those in stoke on trent, the council has banned them

SAB93 · « **Reply #489 on:** September 01, 2008, 03:07:52 PM »

Oh dear although it is understandable some of the IC boats can be very dangerous
