It rained until opening time and then the sun came out and it became quite warm. Loads of people, loads of clubs, loads of traders, they all looked like they were selling quite well. If you click on the banner in blue below it'll take you to my facebook page 'wirral model boats' where you'll see some of today's pics. They'll also be on mayhem after i've taken tomorrows snaps.

I would make just one comment and which is: that it would courteous, if during the closing speeches and presentation of prizes, others in the close vicinity would keep their voices down and the noise of braking down stands (why can't you wait until after the awards have been made?) to an absolute minimum. Yesterdays shenanigans really left a poor impression.

We were at the presentation and your hearing must be much better than mine... Who was making all the noise then?

I agree with you Liverbudgie. But also the voices of the people speaking where not strong enough to carry to the back of the crowd.

Hello all

i saw this Hovercraft at the show but i cant remember who the club was can anyone remember

boat captain · « **Reply #41 on:** August 26, 2013, 07:00:41 pm »

Hi
Thanks to all that attended. Unfortunately our sound system broke down and our backup system had been stolen, these system are kindly loaned to us by clubs. This problem has been noted and will be addressed for the next Convention. I will contact our photographer and ask for some photographs to be down loaded.

Regards

Model Boat Convention Vice Chairman
