Hi Folks!
The first two events were outstanding so there is no time like the present to book in for the next event at Telford! :-))
Please visit our website for details on how to book in:
http://www.bmprs.co.uk/
Entries to Mark Wild please.
Rumour has it that Mark was even getting a few entries before the booking office had opened....
In the dead of night!!! %%

As Mark seems a bit alone in the previous photo, I thought I best share 4 other images. :o :o These were taken at the recent Nottingham venue:
Mark Beesley concentrating during his stint at lap counting:

Concentration in the pit area (not sure which class of boats this was):

Confident launch of D127! Does anyone recognise the guy launching this boat?

The fact that the tranny has not followed the boat into the water would indicate that those dislocated-looking elbows belong to none other than your glorious Chairman - Ian Searle.
(plus the number 127 is a dead give away)
What's with the variety of aerials (?) sticking out???

I am still buzzing from the excitement of this event, and it was certainly packed with activity as these few photos demonstrate: (Our website will soon feature the excellent photos from Judith)
AA-Class ready to race:

Undeniably one of the best events I have ever had the pleasure of attending.
Great banter!
Great fun!
Superb racing!
Good turnout!
New members racing!
Very well organised!
Very few boats suffered any damage.
Some close and sometimes scary near misses!
Bring on another event, hopefully with weather as good!
Garry :-)) ;D

Hi Everyone
My wife Sally captured some video footage from Telford.......
These two clips give a taste of the action>
This short clip shows the alternative Park and Ride scheme that was in operation on the day in the D-Class...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEU1SYtgftc
This second longer clip features a section of the A-Class boats battling it out. Often these smaller boats are overlooked in terms of raw excitement. However on this occasion the racing was just as furious as in the larger classes........>

If you have viewed these short clips, I do hope you have enjoyed them :-))
Cheers
Craig :-)
