Hi there TMBC.
Can you post details of how to get there, also what insurances etc are required to run at Trafford Park please?
Thanks, might just turn up if the weathers nice and I can get a pass out,
Glenn

hi glenn are you in omra?
Pete
-
Hi Pete,
should be by now, just waiting for the paperwork etc to come through to me.
Glenn
-
hi glenn,please check out www.traffordmodelboatclub.co.uk this is a club that me and mark have been setting up for a couple of months now mate,we are also in this months model boat mag,plus we are going to be holding a omra race at our club next year,regards kurt,mark,tmbc

Thanks Kurt,
web page has potential there, are non member visitors allowed to run there? (WIth insurance of course!!)
Thinking I might pop down over the next couple of weeks if time allows, I can be there in two hours on a good run.
Glenn
-
hi glenn when you get your omra card you just turn up show your card at the desk pay £3.50 and on you go, there is a laminated copy of the omra insurance behind the desk and that covers you.
Pete
-
yes glenn.as long as you pay the lake £3,50 for the day,that is what they charge mate,not us,if you are a member of OMRA the just bring your omra card as we have omra insurance on our lake,which is cool for us omra members,we are not there this weekend as we are racing at windy. but will be there next sunday from about 11,you are more than welcome to come and take part.it is a good lake with good facilities,and we do have a good laugh, ;D O0 it would be nice if you can make it sometime as we are always looking for people to come and enjoy what we do,plus theres always a good crowd,plus lots of people that come and watch,regards kurt
-
Thanks,
I hope to see you at Windermere too. The plan is for me to turn up and have first race there, membership etc permitting, watch out for me, mine'll be the lumbering red, white and (Don't laugh) fluorescent green Miami in the D class.
Might get down weekend after though. See what's going on. Thanks again.

Nice to see the TMBC members on Sunday at Trafford, it's a good big lake with lots of spectators. Once I get the carb tuned in properly on the Sigma I'll be down again with the GPS and camcorder. 8) I was thinking of testing my straight line rigger there but I think it could be duck soup for breakfast if I do. ::)
-
Hi Dave.thanks for coming down.it was good to see you and your sigma,cant wait for you to sort it out,god,it should be interesting,bring the rigger as well,we can all have duck soup. ;D ;D O0
