Hi Phil,

Are you not racing Sunday?

Regrettably not Simon. I am teaching up in Runcorn on Sunday so no mucking about with boats for me. But I do hope to have mine back in one piece by Saturday so if Danny wanders over to Kingsbury, I may give it a bit of a wet and see if I can set it up a bit for Stevenage.

Hope the 'leccy bits behave themselves and you have a good run.

Cheers

Phil

Hello one and all
I am going to Weymouth OMRA meet. Dose anyone have any B&B details that they reccomend to stay on the Sat night.
If you have can you drop me an e mail [email protected]
Ta very much
Bill :)

Hi Bill
Thanks for the pat!!
Mrs 85 and I usually stay at the Travellodge in Weymouth, which is next to the campsite. It is reasonably secure as quite a few modellers stay there. There is enough parking for all rooms which is something to look for especially with some of the seafront guest houses (of which there are loads).  If you're only staying the one night, most B&B's don't want to take your booking until the last minute in case they get someone for the week (changeover is usually on Saturday).
This year, just for a change, we're trying out
http://www.harbourlights-weymouth.co.uk/
which, although it hasn't got a bar, has good prices and they sound like nice people. Anyway, if you go to the "entertainment" at the Pavilion, that's Sat evening taken care of. There are stacks of bars and nice pubs round the harbour for evening drinkies. 
Are you staying Fri and Sat night?  If you do, you can go to the trade show on Sat, spend a few bob then watch the Z class on Sat afternoon.
If you need any more info, give me a shout.

Thank you very much for coming over to Stevenage OMRA meeting today.
I hope you all had a good day without to many breakdowns.
Looks like the new paint job is working for you Simon.
Cheers Chaps
Do it agian next year??? That bit is down to all of you.

[2772e]

Thanks Bill, great job, well done. The two heats makes all the difference.

Ran the engine up when i got home and the throttle servo jammed, how about that for luck?

Third and Concourse, very happy with that. First proper race this year so a good test bed. The water/weight helped in the 2nd heat.

Shame your rescue crew to a chunk out of one of my chines? Still they do the best they can.

Big thanks to all the guys especially Big Tee for a superb pit man and his tuned engines [/16] made all the difference when needed. Nice to have all that power when needed.

A great days racing yesterday Bill. Thanks to you and Ian for organising such an enjoyable day which was well run and well organised. Two heats was great! The boat behaved itself well and I was even leading from the start for a few laps and even overtook Gary at one point in the second heat! Only one repair to make this week and that is to a servo horn so I got away relatively unscathed!  Many thanks to Damon for pitting for me.

Congrats also to Simon for getting a very creditable third [your 5 championship points ahead of me now!] and for the concours but then that is a foregone conclusion!!!

Superb result for Tony with a very steady and consistent race and a massive number of laps overall! [Nothing less than inspirational Tone!]

Looking forward to getting the boat a bit salty next weekend at Southampton. See you there!

Cheers Phil.

Thanks to Ian, Bill and Greg (+ all the helpers) for a good days event.  So many heats, I didn't know which one I was in  ::)
Hope I didn't damage the wall too much - I really must find another way to stop!!
Well done Tony and Mr Concours

[Bill D203]

Hi Danny
Good News!! The wall is just fine
Can't make Southampton next week but good luck to you all.
It seems a long time to Kingsbury meet. Is there any other boating going during to break?  Seems a long time to wait.

[Bill D203]

OK. I give up ! where is everyone ::) ::) ::) ::) :(

[omra85]

Hi Bill
Had a visit to Kingsbury today for a quick bit of testing.  They'll be better next week in the races - or else!!
I'm going to pop over the see the fine selection of hangovers at Wicksteed tomorrow.  Won't be able to join in though as I'll be driving.
I thought you were going to do a demo run for them?  Don't tell me they didn't want a fast noisy thing running into the wall?  Oh, that's me, isn't it    Well, I'm not takng a boat tomorrow so they'll just have to make do with my good looks  ::) ::)

Danny

[Bill D203]

Hi Danny
Went up to Wicksteed yesterday, which was just as well as I'm not sure how many turn out in the rain. There was some Brill lifeboats on show. It's made me think about having a go at building one. Just got to find some spare cash now.
Going to pop down our lake now to see if any one Else wants to stand in the rain boating.
Cheers for now
Bill

[Bill D203]

OK I give up. Where have you all gone. It's lonely here on my own

[Bill D203]

Hi Simon.
Ok I will put it up for sale on the OMRA site.  Yes it is one of Martin photos. Can you let him know. I have ask him a long time ago if it was OK  to use.
