Well good news atleast, I should be free to come along with my tug aslong as the weather is nice and theres a willing volunteer to shove the thing in the water - I hate to be hinderance but I simply cant do it :( Going in on the 13th for my long awaited hip replacement. I may also bring my barge if i finish it in time.

hi Dan i can vouch for all at this lake they will help if you need it even if you don't they are a great bunch so much so i joined  last year and i live a hundred miles away still worth it tho

hope to see ya there mate

Steve

[fatcat123]

yes Poll aka John said there would be help   

I normally rely on a friend for assistance with my models but hes busy sundays. I hate having to rely on someone to help me with a hobby, it makes it almost not a hobby if you catch my drift. 

Anyway, yes i'll try to get there, i'll be the one in the red audi, music blearing and hobbling out of the thing towards the pond..   

Dan

[fatcat123]

Good question, I was going to ask the same thing. How great minds think alike eh?

Another question - assuming i complete my towing barge, am i welcome to bring that for its first floatation test?  as a bonus for you lot, you can all laugh at me when it sinks..

Dan

[davidsg1a]

Ye great minds Dan, if you do float test your barge on sunday wait for us boys from sunny Glasgow to are arrive so we dont miss any of the action.

[davidsg1a]

Hey Ron, as far as I konw Iain is still going, was when i seen him sunday, catch him tomoz. got to get as many jocksters down as pos.

[fatcat123]
