I have booked for one of my members, the web site is not the best, and they are not taking telephone bookings, their machine just says use the web site......grrrr and if you want to arrive after 5pm you have to pay an extra £10......double grrrrrr
Anyway its field 1
Camping booked. As kink says book online OK only issue I found was it asks you if you are arriving late then asks you to estimate eta but only offers upto 5pm so I put 5 and added a text note

I see that there are going to be 'yacht races'. Will these be for specific classes only or do model yachts have a handicap system like full size boats for a 'menagerie' fleet?
If so can anyone sign up on the day?

We came over to Wickstead this afternoon and saw and wondered at the magnificence of it all. A truly great display of our hobby, well done everyone.Hi thanks for the compliment of the length of my equipment, its the warm weather, Pics of my Blue Leopard, it is a long time since I sailed her so much, even gave the T X to Martin for some time on the water, had a job getting the T X back from him, Great weekend, great weather and superb company Ron
I mentioned to Ron Dean that he was the leader in the 'Longest Transmitter Aerial' class as he was the only person on the lake NOT using a 2.5 Ghz set! :-) But as he was sailing the truly magnificent Blue Leopard' it was understandable.
That gave rise to the thought that such a wonderful display would have been almost impossible in earlier days as we'd have been limited to the number of available channels with 27 Mhz and 40 Mhz radio.
[Later] Well I did post a pic of the Blue Leopard to accompany this, but the site seemed to take exception and didn't print it. >>:-(
