Advance party has arrived and camp has been set up, and dare I say it the sun is shining ( opps that’s put the mockers on it) pitched too close to Klunk who is definitely trying to sell me some radio gear….. shall I 1) move the tent or 2) don’t drink any beer otherwise he willl convince me……….oh 27 meg Pete, well just a Quick Look then

Looking forward to catching up with old ( not in age that is) and new friends.
Let the Mayhem begin

Friday morning, advance party set up camp on Thursday. Friday morning, we are sitting in a field of ice! Ok, it is 4.30 when we got up! Phil is already holding tenure on stories.

But hardly any models on the lake, how strange.

Just been looking at the forecast on XCWeather, hope you have the storm guys on tents and awnings for Sunday.

When packing please remember your camera. The more pictures that get posted the better.

Have a great weekend.

Hi O K them we had better scrub concentrated fog off the list as well ? see you at the weekend, looking forward to it, and it is not true that my radio gear is older than me.

Sees you soon!

Light shower about 8am, then dry and steadily improved to about 23^o, great day weatherwise.

Lots & lots of Mayhemers from a very early start and more & more throughout the day.
Hugh variety of types and models, I always like to see the experimental ones...

Thanks to the Wicksteed club as always, sir Nick is a great coordinator, lord Pete Klunk is coxswains of coxswains, sultan SteamBoatPhil's generosity knows no bounds! !

Great turn out from so many clubs, nice one.

(.... Andy, you were greatly missed.... Poppy
