What a day...what a superb day it's been, courtesy of Norwich Model Boat Club. I can honestly say I've never been made to feel more welcome to any model boat club meeting before. Everybody fussed around me, made me sit down when I needed to, made sure I took my medication, and generally treated me like royalty!
I want to say a huge 'Thank You' to everybody I've met today, I've never shaken so many hands in my life...it was so good to be able to put faces to what were previously only internet names, to meet up with old friends from thirty years ago, and to make new friends.
I'm sorry we had to leave early, but I'd had enough, my knees were starting to hurt badly, I was getting a splitting headache as well, but it was so worthwhile, even though I managed to break the rudder on my Akula getting it out of the front door.
Nice to do business with Mark Rogerson (Grim Reaper) and Steve Juden (SubWarrior), I managed to spend in excess of £250 (ouch...)
Very special thanks to Ian Smith (IanPAL) for being my driver/nurse/and general damn good mate for the day...and thank you again, everybody, for making the day so good.
Highlight of the day...seeing Alistair Cull (Al1) picking up ten foot of Ohio like you and I would pick up a matchstick!
Thank you all once more..
