Ok, 2 weeks to go......so let's go through the weekend!
I will be camping from Thursday, with a few friends.
Friday is setup day for Mayhem and Wicksteed crews.
Anyone can help on this!!!
PLEASE NOTE.
ONLY DESIGNATED PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE WATER. If you sink or break down, please find a Mayhem Marshal. We WILL be hiding, but ask at the Wicksteed club tent, tea tent or Steamboat Phils tent.
The serious (i use that word loosely) Mayhemmers, who camp the weekend, normally turn up. By 2pm, Phil's gazebo will be in the main lake, while he "gets the straps"!
Help will be on hand to put up all tents and Gazebos, just ask.
SATURDAY
sailing commences once people get there, don't be afraid, just put the boats in the water. The car park is 70yds from the water. Trolleys are available, but if you need help, again ask at the tea tent.
For the die hards, there will be frequency control, normally near the tea tent! If using the old frequencies, please bring a peg with your name on it to replace the frequency peg!!!
Tea and coffee, and maybe some biccies, will be in the tea tent. Please see signs for this!!
Please respect all other boats on the water. If you do collide, please say sorry.
There will be IC BOAT demos, by Andy and Richard. These will be announced. For safety, we ask for all boats to be either removed from the water, parked up at the harbour
or lakeside somewhere safe.
STEAMBOAT PHIL will do straight running demos, ably supported by Steamboat Apprentice Steph.
There will be sail bys of edwardian/victorian warships over the weekend, and hopefully some lovely yachts!!!
As usual, for those staying late friday, a fish and chip run will happen, and Saturday will be the standard BBQ. we do ask NOT to bring disposable BBQS, MAYHEM do have a normal BBQ for use by all staying. Myself, or someone else will also cook for you.
Last note, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, IS ANYONE ALLOWED TO MENTION THE WEATHER. NONE, NIL, ZIP, NADA. DON'T GO THERE!
