Has anyone got a video of the Pollux tug fleet in action?

What about the Kranoplan boat/ plane?

Yes I have a video taken today of the football match, it wa so funny.. I will try to get it uploaded today, my main pc is running slow, need to find the hammer.

As regards the plane, its one of my projects I have (picked up the glue I needed from Model Boat bits) today.Not the plan ein the picture but the one mentioned a while back in Model Boats.

Well the scots are safely accross the border, and heading to the next wedding

We as always had a great time at the convention and as said recently it is good to meet up with old friends and make some new ones.

to answer HS93 the other show had the mutual model boat club displaying, but I am not sure how many models they had.

Back home from a fantastic weekend at Haydock.
A big thank you from the Scottish Model Warship Association to all the organisors, for a superb event, we had a great time and are already looking forward to next years show.
Also to all the other exhibitors, a fantastic, friendly bunch of guys who are always up for a laugh.
A bit cream crackered after a pretty hectic weekend, so I`ll post my pics tomorrow

My apologies to any club that I missed,
May I thank the organisers, clubs and trade stands that put on a great show.

Having just returned from the Boat Convention at Haydock can I say that the venue was superb, plenty of room and a feast of models, the halls being carpeted were not so hard on the feet, access to the ground floor was easy with large doors, not sure how the Clubs on the first floor faired, but there was a number of very large models on display , the organisers are to be congratulated on their choice, I believe a reasonable sized pool is in the pipeline for next year, this should allow the modellers an opportunity to sail their models. Well done. Howard Q.

Evening all, here goes, two firsts in the same weekend, my first reply on mayhem, hello everyone ! second my first time attending a model boat show on the club stand (Kirklees Model Boat Club). Throughly enjoyed myself. I have attended other shows as a visitor and have attended other race courses for model railway exhibitions and this venue out classes them by far. I think I'm hooked, cannot wait for my next show invite (if the Boss OK's it)

I think myself and Russ should get 20% discount on next years admission as we missed 1 of the 5 rooms, only joking.

Enjoyed the show but personally I preferred the other location as it was all on one level, and had the 'lake' to sail on too. Quite a few people I've spoken to have said the same. I hope you get a better sailing area for next year. I'd like to know how much that FTX tug weighed fully ballasted, what a beast that was, Dave.
