Wow what a great weekend!
I’ve just managed to recover from all the fun and everything is back into its storage for next time.
I’d like to thank the Mayhem Organisation Committee (Martin, Klunk, Phil and Andy) for all their help in making this the best Mayhem ever! After last year we decided to make the event more ‘organised’ but retain the standard format of free sailing. I believe we achieved this and will be planning very soon for next year which will involve a special anniversary event. Watch this space
This year many would have noticed that we had a new entrance and organised car parking system which was unfortunately implemented at the last minute so we didn’t have time to update the park map for everyone- we will endeavour to make sure it’s updated in time for next year. I want to thank the entire rota of Wicksteed Park Club for brilliantly providing the control and support for the car parking. They did a stunning job considering we have never done this before. I would also like to thank Wicksteed Park for their support with the car park set up and security team as back up.
Great to see Mrs Mayhem and Little Miss Mayhem, LMM looked really chuffed with her hovercraft from Jag!
Many thanks to both the Wicksteed Ladies, Bill, Ruth, and Gina for the wonderful refreshment support.
It was fantastic to see such a variety of models on the water showing the amazing range of types in our hobby, everything from scale, yachts, straight runners, to I/C and hovercraft. The amount of new faces young and old was incredible and hopefully keeps our hobby growing.
This year we had three traders and I’d like to thank them all for their continued support- Deans Marine, Flag Man, and Palaform. We also had the support of the RNLI for a second year so a thank to Baloo and his fellow lifeboaters for displaying their models and highlighting the importance of the RNLI.
AndyN was a great example of bringing new ideas to the event and the ‘merch’ was a great success, my jumper was certainly very well made and looked the part.
Klunk aka Pete Carmen had a nice touch this year with the signing in book, I hope you all had a chance to sign it, not only is it a nice touch but gives a great record of our show.
And finally, a big thank you to all who visited, sailed, and displayed, without you we wouldn’t have a show.
See you all soon and here is to Mayhem at Wicksteed 2024
