Is it my imagination or with 3 weeks to go is this topic really quiet compared to last year

[raflaunches]

Right let’s kick this off!!!


Who’s coming and joining in? Lots of fun guaranteed (even if it’s just me falling in the lake again!).
Bring and Buy tables
Traders- new one this year The Dorset Print Man, along with our fantastic trade supports Deans Marine and Palaform.
We will be celebrating VE Day with a military vessel sail past.
Martin and the Mayhem ladies (Ruth and Gina) will be providing tea and coffee
The Wicksteed Ladies will be selling bacon and sausage baps/rolls/cobbs (or whatever anyone calls a sandwich these days )
Free Sailing all day
Unfortunately no IC demos this year but Phil I’m sure will put on his best display of straight running!
Reminder than we have discounted Camping this year- let me know when you’ve booked and I’ll contact the park with your details to extend your stay- essentially buy one night- get the next free.
Parking in the big field close the lake, we have reserved parking for those with blue badges.
And I’m sure I’ve forgotten stuff but here’s a poster!
And enjoy.
Car park payment details will be displayed through out the site and the Mayhem car park area permits will be on here by end of the week for you to print off. We will have spares at the entrance to the car park area.

I'll be there to run the late Dave Milbourn's Fairey Huntsman prototype, it's first 'public' voyage since I bought it.

Reminder


We have discounted camping, if you wish to take advantage of this deal please message me after you’ve booked your booking reference number and vehicle registration. I will pass on these details to the park campsite manager and she will extend your booking by the required amount of nights.
Essentially if you book Friday night we can extend you in to Saturday night free of charge. We just need to know if you wish to take advantage of it.

We will be predominantly in Field 1 if you wish to join us for the evening fun, but even if you’re elsewhere in the campsite you are more than welcome to come and join us too

I was planning to go this year for my first time, but daughter beet me to it, telling me last night, that she will be away herself, and so have to [no hardship, but we don't leave her with anyone] baby sit our lovely little pug,  who is 11, 3 days later................and I bought a new lifeboat off ebay the other night to sail there, which I'm collecting this Sunday from the east coast near Kingston upon Hull, .........oh well, never mind.

So may be lucky next year.

Have a lovely sunny and dry time all you fellow boaters, and stay safe driving to the venue and home.

Neil.

Will we need those tricky passes to put in our windscreens to park near the lake?

[raflaunches]

Hi Kit


Yes, you will, they will be put on here by Monday for people to print off or alternatively we will have a limited number preprinted to issue at the car park entrance each day.

[KitS]

Magic, thanks. I'll warm up my printer.

Another confirmation today is from Mike Allsop aka Flag Man- he will be at Model Boat Mayhem at Wicksteed on Saturday 24th only for all your flag needs. If you haven’t seen these spectacular ensigns before they are the most realistic and accurate flags that I know of.
If you want to make use of the camping discount mentioned in previous posts please let me know asap- last date that I will accepting details to pass on to the park will be next Saturday to allow them to process them and for me to check on your behalf.
