There are few of us staying in the park, and at 20:00 I think we might already be into the odd libation or two, or three, or, you get the idea.

I wish I could be there with you all, but it's a bit far for me to go for the weekend  :} . Besides, we have a regatta of our own at our lake that weekend.

Enjoy yourselves.

Thank you, Martin, take photos so I can see the incident  {-)

Stavros, if you can sink one of mine from over there, I really will believe in magic  O0

Derek, ours will be an up market regatta, as a local cafe is going to deliver lunch  :-) , but I will take photos of the event, if not the barbecue.

Hi all,
Me and Del-boy will be there on Saturday-hopefully I will have my caravan-springer ready,club 500 is ready and will also bing the brushless Arun lifeboat, and probably the Graupner Neptune container ship-I know Ghost has a thing about these!

GHOST- Del-boy will probably be inspecting your tent to see if its up to standard as he was a seasoned venture-scout in his youth!!

Regards Paul

I am going to be getting to Wicksteed later than planned on Friday, due to moving installation of new water main from today until Friday. So I will not be getting there until at the very earliest 13:00 >:-o >:-o >:-o >:-o >:-o >:-o

I'm not having any gassed vodka thatnks, the normal kind will be fine, because we all know alco-pops are rank...

I have to watch Ghost's tent / windbreak / Ghost himself, fly away, I could do with a good laugh...

Andy, the tent is a 4 man dome not a 2man dome, so its a bit more spacious, the bamboo rods will support the length of the break, also it will be looped over the top rail to provide a rain break as well,  "trust me my dear watson".  the other tent with the damaged roof will be rigged for wet stores if it rains during the day.  i dont give a toss if that gets wet on the inside its being thrown after this event.  

the windbreak won't be going anywhere either. (i hope and so pray... our father, lord and master over all of us, let my windbreak stand proud, let the weather be good, amen!

Hi

Can you run IC's at Wicksteed?

Do I need to pre book for sailing at this event and for putting any boats on display?  Are there different classes as I've got IC's, fast electric and scale boats?

This will be the first year I've visited and a number of our club members wish to attend and want to know how we can register to sail.

Regards,

We're running IC boats only as demos only, no racing or nuffink like that.
Have a chat with sub lieutenant Andyn, we responsible for that section.
