Still waiting to hear back from KWPMBC Tony. If don't hear in the next couple of days, I'll bung another letter over to the Commodore this time. [Nothing quite like rattling the cages... !]

I was hoping to get some testing done over the Easter break whilst I am down here in Wales as I am booked in for the Chase Race. I was hoping to get some proper sea time in with the boat but the weather is far too rough. Its blowing about a 6-7 Northerly and peeing down most of the time. :( I'll have to wait until I get back next week to Kingsbury.

In the meantime, the pub is beckoning and there is a pint of Rev. James with my name on it!

Cheers!

Phil

Hi Phill
Not much boating going on here. Snow Stoped play this morn.
Got my new Sikk engine going at about 3/4 power now. I was out with Simon and Damon Friday and clock it on a GPS at 33.7 MPH :) :)
It gave me no troubles all morn.
I am not going to Torquey as I get sea sick and that would be No fun at all for me in a chase boat. My 1st race should be Bristol.
Have a pint for me
Bill.

DANNY. Who do I contact for the Bristol meeting ? A phone number would be Grand.

Hi Bill
The contact for Bristol is Phil Locke on 01179 604959
This might work (I'm still working on the site!) -

BTW You would have NO chance of getting seasick in a chase boat - you're FAR too busy thinking of all the other things you have to do to worry about the boat bobbing up and down a bit!

Stavros,

Be carefull where you go chucking that tared, brush.

I was a scale guy and still am, long before i got onto the racing scene. In fact when racing got quiet last year i started a tug for towing etc.

I was at the first Mayhem bash last year at Wickstead, both days so got drowned on the Sunday and had to have my caravan towedd out of the field. And that was with 2 RTTL's and my Dutch harbour tug.Hope to make it up there with some of my scale boats as well as the racers.

Regards

Simon

Dose any one use this site? :)

Blagmeister · « **Reply #317 on:** April 09, 2008, 09:50:47 am »

I have finally had a reply from KWPMBC regarding the Makara Day Out proposed for this year. In principle there are no objections, however the issue of insurance has been raised and we may need OMRA approval as the most sensible way around it is to run it as an OMRA event but not part of the championship calendar. I don't know if OMRA will go for this as it is a social event rather than a race meet but I will ask the questions and report back on the outcome.

Should permission be granted by OMRA to run it as a social event, then the only proviso to participating will be that anyone who wishes to be involved will need to be an OMRA member to qualify for the insurance cover.

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers

Phil.

Bill D203 · « **Reply #318 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:31:32 pm »

For what it is worth, Phone Alan or Danny and they should be able to give an answer. I guess most of the Mad Makara men are in OMRA, and as I run on my own lake here at Stevenage I am covered by OMRA insurance. As for the social side of it BBQ etc I'm not sure. prob not. However you can get liability insurance to cover you for the day very cheaply.

Blagmeister · « **Reply #319 on:** April 09, 2008, 01:32:59 pm »

Often Mart, things are not as simple as they may appear and when multiple insurance policies are concerned, it is important to get things right as cover may not be valid under certain circumstances. I am seeking clarification and will advice those concerned as soon as I have the relevant info.

Cheers

Phil

Bill D203 · « **Reply #320 on:** April 13, 2008, 08:56:09 pm »

Hello. The Stevenage branch of the Mad Makara men has just got from a good day's racing at Bristol. I am not 100% sure but I think I came in 4th or 5th, But I did pick up Concours Thing a me jig. Phil has got a new air vent in his boat. OPPs I heard him say. My partner Ian will be rebuliding both his engines over the next few weeks.
Oh well best get of and polish this thing.

2772e · « **Reply #321 on:** April 13, 2008, 09:07:25 pm »

Well done Bill,

Keeping the end up for the Makara's!

Bill D203 · « **Reply #322 on:** April 13, 2008, 09:27:06 pm »

Well done Bill - the results are on the OMRA site, pretty close
