Are we going to have any Club 500 races??

Brian

How about having one Club 500 set of races, and one general 500 powered boat race?

Howabout getting the SUN out to play??
I will be there for certian on Saturday. Stavros, did you say you could bring a Gazibo /Tent that i can use to show my Petrol Boat?
If not is there space in someone eles tent? Floor space for the Makara will be fine and 1/4 of a table for my Hydro.
PS Phil. Try and use a VHF radio mike as UHF mikes get upset on gen sets. (think back to Llanberis) and I have found the same prob with my PA kit. I am sure you have a VHF set but if you dont I can bring mine to use.

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #84 on:** April 13, 2009, 10:06:32 pm »

I might be able to swing by and pick you up

andyn · « **Reply #85 on:** April 13, 2009, 10:20:17 pm »

That would be great, dad's at work and grandad's car isn't big enought for the huge collection of boats I'm bringing

Martin

I have just spoken to Wicksteed regarding camping on the Mayhem weekend and they have told me to contact the organiser, why??

Brian

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #87 on:** April 15, 2009, 01:53:03 pm »

Beats me! I think they maybe referring to the Wicksteed Park Model Boat Club

I think it's a case of the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, parkies have a habit of this...

Martin

Is there footying?
I know that the locals have hatched a little fleet of the fellers, and can probably bring a small slew myself - about 5 (even if I can't rope in any other footy ~~nutters~~ mature enthusiasts.)

Plse remember the health warning - Footys are dangerously addictive

I was a normal shober engineer before I got hooked
I'm supposed also to be at a full-size build-yer-own-boat rally in Norfolk

But I've got to get to a Mayhem event and shake the names warmly by the hand

andrew

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #90 on:** April 15, 2009, 04:26:15 pm »

Hi Andrew,

Yes ALL FOOTY ~~nutters~~ Sailors are invited.... even if you still haven't finished your model yet, bring the kit...
... I for one am in the market for one!.

Also, can I ask you to be in charge of the Footy events?
The Footy events are anything you say they are!

Colin Bishop · « **Reply #91 on:** April 15, 2009, 05:33:52 pm »

Martin,

Given that everyone and anyone will be coming, with a vast variety of boats and other strange floating objects, what sort of timetabling structure are you putting in place to ensure that everyone gets a chance to get their bottoms wet? (No doubt the rain will take care of their tops!)

Colin

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #92 on:** April 15, 2009, 05:53:27 pm »

Yes, a proper timetable..... as unlikely as that sounds we will be endeavouring to do one this year!

Any suggestions before I conjure something up?

andyn · « **Reply #93 on:** April 15, 2009, 05:56:04 pm »

IC Demo (hopefully more than one) on SATURDAY afternoon, or there'll be no Bill in it, we'll lose at least 1, if not 2 boats from it if not

Colin Bishop · « **Reply #94 on:** April 15, 2009, 06:07:02 pm »

Only in general terms. Like which activities can you have going on simultaneously on different parts of the lake? Also maybe it would be an idea to try and get some advance indication of numbers and who has 2.4 Radios as opposed to those which will need to be subject to frequency control.

Maybe one way to do this would be to set up two survey topics. One could list the activities such as free sailing (power), free sailing (sail) Springer Footy, Straight Running, Speed etc. and then you would see just how welll each one would be likely to be supported and can allocate time accordingly. Of course a number of people are likely to be involved in more than one activity - can the survey deal with that?

The other survey could just list the radio types, 2.4ghz, 40mhz & 27 mhz which will give some idea of how likely you are to get potential frequency clashes.

I also think that the frequency board should be "bookable" with say 20 minute sessions for free sailing with somebody in charge of it rather than just allowing people to grab a peg and possibly hang on to it. Obviously if there is a structured activity taking place on part of the lake, such as Springer Footy, Racing or Tug Towing then people participating in that would have first call on the frequency board during the time set aside for that activity.

Just common sense really.

Colin

Can I make a suggestion? Can we have a new thread, which is a poll, the options on the poll can be 27, 40, and 2.4 gig, to see who has what who is coming to wiki park?

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #96 on:** April 15, 2009, 06:56:42 pm »

Wicksteed - Boats & Frequency?
