Is there going to be a Mayhem bash in 2013 Martin?and you can guarantee there will be some weather :}
The guys from north o` the border are thinking of buying a new sooper dooper tent so we can entertain you guys in comfort, regardless of the weather O0 :-))
Yes..... anyone know when it's going to rain 'cats & dogs'?
Hey Big Bri, maybe we could put the clubs new protable pond in the tent so we dont even need to go outside. :-))
David
You're not?!?!? <:(
I'm looking to to move it more towards the summer in an effort to get better weather....
How about Dec 25th???? Im not doing anything.
No im not Martin. Just eating to much, drinking and looking at the box. If we hold it on 25/12/13 then i don't have to look at the box. The rest I will have to do, eat and drink that is. {-)
Well Mid July is out for a candidate for summer .. Cheshire Steam Fair 2012

My IC boat isn't that fast so I will see you there :embarrassed: %) :o :} {-) {-) {-) as long as I'm not working :-))

Dave
I aleady have my name badge. I made it up last year. Mayhem logo + screen name :-))
Hopefully others will do the same so we can 'recognise' each other.
Martin is exempt of course, those shirts are unique !
Hold mouse over Mayhem logo at top of page, (or this image), right click, "copy".
Paste into a document (MS Word etc), printo off and write your name underneath.
eg:
Hey mean 1 bottle for breakfast then in the everning he opens the mobile bar in his carboot {-)
Thats the bottle for mayhem sat bought. :-))HEY!!!! 1 bottle????? is she watching you again <*< <*< keep kidding on its a present and not for us whilst having a BBQ and remember DONT tell her your going with me or you will not be allow out :-)) :-))
david
<:( <:( <:(
A bottle of how many liters?
If this is done for samples from five or six drinks a normal bottle suffice.
You're lucky, the French can not come this year if .......
We wake up in the habit of dipping u smoked herring in the Beaujolais. A bottle and three herring and that goes for half the morning.
We will make allowances next year, and with your unique bottle you will be a small player %)
British subjects who come to GAZOULAND in five days will tell ;)
Stay away from the Scottish contingent, they only like warships, nit subs!Hey you I have a few subs.....but all my warships are always on the look out for a target {-) {-) {-)
We've got three club 500 hundreds coming south of the border this year. <*< {-)
david
What really bothers me is simple Klunk any sub that sails in main part of the lake will simply get mashed if the Happy Hunter goes over it by accident 130 lbs of Tug verses grp well I know what would win and it would be hte sub....Mind you if anything crosses my Path just rember I CAN NOT STOP very easily !!!!!!!!!!
Dave
So Martin YOU are TOTALLY off the hook and it is OFFICIAL we now know WHO to blame if it rains this year YES html the burden is NOW ON YOUR SHOULDERS O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)And I thought I was going to cop for that.. :}
Dave
Dear Scotish friends we really do need more than 1 bott of amber nectar this year as Me and Kelly have something to celebrate this year and NO ALCOHOL for Kelly she can have the Water instead.but mr stav i have a good excuse to eat what i like !!!! O0 O0 O0 O0 O0
Dave..............................................PS she not impressed at missing out on the grog HE HE
Stav the bottle of Amber Nector Iv got and is a good one and will be good one for celebrations.
Kelly if you cant drink Stav should stay off it as well. {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
David
I wont tell him. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
David
Now what boat can I build in anticipation and what colour shall I paint it Pink or Blue ;) :-)) :-)) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
Let them penguins loose on them that should sort them out
Dave
no guy , no bill!!!! getting short on tall stories already!!!
and guy according to the tv advert your new ride opens 18 May!!!
Well thats the caravan sorted serviced and all systems go Now I suppose with a week to go I should start to get some boaty things sorted....when I have done that who is going to sort ME out {-) {-) {-)
Dave
Makes me Wonder now if we need to have overnight security down at the lake from Friday/Sat Night just to maek sure hte gazeebos etc are safe.
I know it is a hassle BUT there are enough of us staying over to do it...say 2 hourly shifts
Dave
And what happens if we catch them? Can we torture them??? Please Martin, let me torture them!
hmmm straw inseryed into a certain part of the body is very painfull, and waterboarding is easy, but only works overtime! if there are high winds we should tie them to phils gazebo! or slowly roast them over the bbq!!
or did I hear something about grass straight running!? how about pegging them out legs apart as the center aim point, loudest scream wins!!!!
Well TBH with you I was thinking more of an anchor for the AT Boatyard and The Happy Hunter that would save me having to tie them up to the flag pole O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0 O0
Dave
or did I hear something about grass straight running!? how about pegging them out legs apart as the center aim point, loudest scream wins!!!!good idea but with phil and stav im not so sure they would hit centre point, remember last year !!! {-) {-)
TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES for those of us who cant attend !
Hi Martin
Do you have an up to date list of the traders coming ?
Derek
... I'll be the bloke in the very sedate shirt!
Thanks Ron!
( same arrangements as last year.... but with better weather! )
Just got home from Wicksteed.... man it was rainin' Sideways!
http://youtu.be/L9fhxa8yFb0 (http://youtu.be/L9fhxa8yFb0)
Got the Marquee up... didn't think was going at one stage!
... it's got ratchet 4 anchor points... lashed to the railings and a heavy strap over the top!
Just been on the BBC weather site. The rain is due to stop at 20.00 tonight. Saturday is mixed but dry.
In true mayhem style we are lighting the bbq %% %% yes thats right the weather will not stop us !!!!
Lots and lots of pretty pictures, pretty, pretty, please for us poor Aussies etc. who cannot make it. :embarrassed: O0 O0 O0
Some names on faces would also be appreciated.
Cheers Nick.
I have to say it looks a bit thin both on the boat side and punters.
OK,
Tell Mrs Mayhem to fire up the water boiler Dodes and myself will be down for the Sunday!!
Bob
Do you pay someone to heaven for the weather?
I'm happy for you all
Well BBQ is nearly finished, our Scottish contingent conned us all into cooking their food and repaid the debt with 18 year old laphroag whisky and another bottle t,at I haven't had a chance to sample, Phil is suffering after eating Encino pepper sauce and scotch bonnet sauce together! That does not bode well for the morning to those not present on Sat, you have missed a great days
Despite the chairman (Steamboatphil) doing the dirty on the apprentice, (Steph') by moving the straight running markers as far away as he could AND narrowing the gate to boot! %) :o like all good pupils though Steph' (using the boat she built herself )took up the gauntlet and showed the master how it's done ............... watch this for a straight ten!! P.S. Steph', if you let the paint on the deck dry before fitting and painting the superstructure :} they do come apart much easier!! {-) {-) {-) x

Did this boat get sold??? If not I may well be able to give it a good home for the £60 asking price.
If you own this boat then can you contact me by pm. Thanks.

Following a fantastic Mayhem at Wicksteed the following highly researched scientific facts can be revealed:Guy Bagley visits the Alfold Charity Model Boat Show the following weekend to dry out all his equipment, as he did not attend this year he can consentrate on sailing more at Alfold this year.

1. 'rubbish' weather on a Friday is a sign of good times to come.
2. Martins shirts are brighter than the sun.
3. Mrs Davis makes a mean cup of tea.
4. Debbs cakes are still the best.
5. Being male and wearing rubber does not guarantee a prize.
6. Being an expectant father makes you design strange craft.
7. and finally ..... if you want good weather at your event then ask Guy Bagley to stay away!
Can we have more of the same in 2014 ...... loved it.
