Mayhem Where next year?
« on: May 29, 2009, 06:47:59 pm »


If I've recovered enough in 12 months time, where should we put on the mayhem show?

I'm very happy with the Wicksteed Park, location and facilities, but I thought I'd through the question out there .......


Also, a couple of proposed events for the weekend,

1. Club 500 races.

2. Fixed hull racing, eg. Century / High Wind Twin Engine Speed Boat ( usually on Ebay, see below)
    ( Class needs to be defined and agreed. )

3. Straight running class. Something like:
    NO RADIO.
   Any power.
   Any design.
   Must fit inside a 1500 x 500 x 500mm... which is roughly the size of my Ravell Gato sub or my Bismarck!)

4. Footy yacht racing.

5. Steering competition.

6. Towing competition.



... what say you?

Wicksteed works for me, but then I only live 20 miles away.

Simple one really one hull do what you like to it as long as it's not petrol or nitro,you can pick up those boats for a song as they usually are faulty after a few trips out,I have converted mine to a single brushless motor as seen at Wickstead this year.Went well turned flat hours of fun on a single 9.6 stick pack.

Anyone want to buy one got 2 for sale ;) :-))

Wicksteed is fairly central geographically, has a great lake and all the facilities, including camping, you could want. I doubt if you could do better.

By all means have some more specific events but if you do, allocate defined time slots and appoint somebody reliable to be responsible for each of them so you don't have to directly get involved. Spread the pain!

Why are we even having this conversation? Wicksteed has the lot, however somewhere to run the OMRA boats would be nice. But it is no big deal if we can't. However that verses on site camping, low water level for you folk who like a bit of wadding.  I have to say If it is going to be hot next year a Shower block for the campers would be good. 
Wicksteed 80%
Somewhere Else 20%

We would love to hold it at Stevenage BUT there is no camping , the water is deep, on site facility's are 1 cafe which charge 85p for a cup of coffee. A second mortgage if you want to eat there.
+ I would have to get it passed the other members here at Stevenage MBC.

Bill, there was a shower block, you would have found it if you would have left the "Mayhem Formation Drinking Team" !!!!!
what am I saying, we never formed anything----------------

Wicksteed gets my vote, Colin has said it all- ( sorry to the chaps in the south, but the Portmsmouth display team would be a great coup to any Mayhem event)

Rain or shine I will stay untill the Monday :}

And sadly the Blackheath pond is about the size of last years Rain puddle at Wicksteed  :(( :(( :((

Oh no, more North, More South, soon we'll have Mayhem right across the country (ok be fair we have that now)

So: maybe Breakaway Mayhem South
               Breakaway Mayhem North
Main Mayhem at Wicksteed

(Happy to sort N & S) just give us water....... ;)

Its a thought    :o

And remember Mayhem merchandise (hats, sweatshirts and polos) now available
And you to can look good !!!!! :-))

The lifeboats going well, needed a fair amount of filler but no worries there. Off sometime soon to go buy some more paint, then I'll airbrush it :-))

I know the motor you should put in the club 500 by the way, a Dynamite C-4 9200kv brushless, with a pair of polyquest Li-Po's. Edit : Zippy Li-Po's

If it's still for sale, I can get you one for a tenner. I would also use the original hull as a mould to produce a carbon fiber one.

This is the first year I've been able to go to Wicksteed but I thought it was ideal.   Lake big enough but shallow enough not to need rescue boat.  I didn't camp this time but would next year.   Therefore happy to see Mayhem there again next year.    

BTW two thoughts on Mayhem clothing, I've obviously missed how to get a polo shirt and second if any other items may become available can I put in a plea for floppy sun hats.  I wouldn't be seen alive (or dead) in a baseball cap but if 2010 is anything like 2009 would like to wear a sun hat!

Cheers
