Hi all from Belgium,
I would like to come to this event as my sister does not live too far away from the park. Can someone give me the exact adres of the parking for the boat club please?
Many thanks Andre

It is pretty good for parking, even later in the day, and the path to the lake from the parking area is level enough not to shake all the joints loose on your superstructure! There is a narrow gauge railway track across the access road the path links to but I have never seen any issues the times I have been.

I expect we would have heard much gnashing of teeth about it if it was contrary!

And (aiming for) the first gun fire battle between dreadnaughts, each using Geoff's unique gun fire system.
HMS Iron Duke vs HMS Agincourt.

Was it only last year that Ron Dean surprised me with a giant hull, and proceeded to load it with 29 kg of ballast?

Seems this forum is a bit like the kloo klux clan with the secret 10 and lifeboat builds going underground

Dave we are all waiting for your next speed demon. Phil said he can catch anything!

Hi all. Knowing my "thread blindness", this has probably been asked lots before, but is there any way we could bring our caravan to the Mayhem meet ? It's is only a small 2 berth, but, as I am partially disabled, would make life a lot easier for me. I look forward to your assistance all. Best wishes, Dave and Jan Weaver 😊

Stavros · « **Reply #60 on:** January 29, 2018, 07:35:21 pm »

Yes as there is a campsite at the Park...large toilet block with diszbled facilities BUT there is NO ELECTRIC hook ups.....details available on Wickstead Park web site....BUT keep looking closer to the time as we usually have a discount

Dave

raflaunches · « **Reply #61 on:** January 29, 2018, 07:38:26 pm »

Taken it from my mouth Dave!!! Well, keyboard!!!

Just sorting out the discount as we speak, hopefully details to come very soon.

Stavros · « **Reply #62 on:** January 29, 2018, 08:41:23 pm »

I have my USES maybee not 100% of the time Nick

Dave

Rolfy Dave · « **Reply #63 on:** January 29, 2018, 09:14:51 pm »

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'll keep my eyes peeled for a discount code. As for electric, most of the time, an extra leisure battery would suffice, but I do have a compact suitcase granny to fill my need for 240v mains.
Cheers all. Looking forward to it,
Dave W 😊

Bob K · « **Reply #64 on:** January 29, 2018, 10:23:25 pm »

Can I ask a favour please? When the camping discount (code?) becomes available, please post the news here.
I intend camping (likkle tent) as I did last year.
Only room for one boat on board. I will have to make batteries last somehow.

raflaunches · « **Reply #65 on:** January 29, 2018, 10:25:00 pm »

Don't worry Bob- thats the plan

Rolfy Dave · « **Reply #66 on:** January 29, 2018, 10:33:49 pm »

Bob K, if you are anywhere near me, you are welcome to use my lectrickery for charging purposes. Just make yourself known.
Cheers, Dave W 😊

Klunk · « **Reply #70 on:** January 30, 2018, 05:41:15 am »

Stop press.
Urgent rumour about Bobk....
It is being alleged that Bob will be sleeping in his Agincourt!

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #71 on:** January 30, 2018, 05:53:12 am »

Well its bigger than his car

Meanwhile VS boat coming along nicely, new steamboat with some sort of modern wireless control so I can now chase Stav all over the pond, and I nice little brew we found in Normandy... now mix that with Steve's sloe gin....that should put some oomph into the steam boat.

Klunk · « **Reply #72 on:** January 30, 2018, 07:24:36 am »

PHIL will get several bags of chem wood for everyone.

ballastanksian · « **Reply #73 on:** January 30, 2018, 09:22:09 pm »

Chemiwood is great.

Willit · « **Reply #74 on:** February 02, 2018, 03:20:48 pm »

I will hopefully be in attendance, possibly with two Vic Smeeds.
