Ideas for the weekend, apart from fun are…..
Victorian/Edwardian Ships:
Falklands conflict (40th Anniversary) 28th battle of Goose Green. 29th Atlantic Conveyor sinks under tow
There will also be IC demos over the weekend
A Bring and Buy (subject to tables / someone organizing it!)
And an amazing 12ft GATO Submarine

All on the calendar so "hopeful" that I might have boats that actually work and go in the right direction

Hi Martin et. al,

500+miles driving each-way is still a bit too far to travel for me as the maybe the "upper north" Scottish contingency, especially in these times plus still have a vulnerable person and difficulties with work which take precidence over hobbies. But I wish you guys well and hope it's a good and respectful event. I would like to get to an event at some point to meet in person rather than at the other side of a computer. I'm not as bad as I bash out on the keyboard!

Good luck with it,

Rich

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #40 on:** February 03, 2022, 09:02:38 pm »

Rich,
I am sure there will be lots of pictures of the accused.....opps I meant all that attend. With luck you will meet us all soon....

Andyn · « **Reply #41 on:** February 12, 2022, 01:16:16 pm »

As I'm sure we're all looking forward to it (105 days to go, but who's counting?), I've put together a couple clips from my boats in 2019

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #42 on:** March 02, 2022, 12:28:55 pm »

Have we ever had a yacht race / event at Mayhem at Wicksteed?

Klunk · « **Reply #43 on:** March 02, 2022, 01:07:52 pm »

Not that I am aware of!

Steve Dean · « **Reply #44 on:** March 02, 2022, 02:48:02 pm »

But I do remember a few years ago we had an unplanned gazebo flying session.

Netleyned · « **Reply #45 on:** March 02, 2022, 03:40:22 pm »

2010 or11 I seem to recall.
Organise a yachtrace, mass sail in or
suchlike and it will guarantee not a
breath of wind for the whole weekend.
Sod's Law 😂

Will there be free drinks for Falklands veterans?

Martin (Admin) · « **Reply #48 on:** April 03, 2022, 06:48:55 pm »

I hope so!

I' had a bit of a gammy leg for 3 months now, but still hoping to get there both days to facilitate hot drinks for old ... and new friends!

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #49 on:** April 05, 2022, 06:10:28 pm »

Have tried calling to book camping, but the answer message says book on line, has any one else had trouble, and do we get our mayhem discount if we do book on line
