![]() Moderator 4708 forum posts 6077 photos 402 articles | Not quite correct Dave, the post on the Mayhem website is a bit exaggerated I'm afraid. Dave Wooley has been in contact with both myself and Paul Freshney earlier this week. He has been admitted to hospital to deal with a long standing condition that his doctors now consider to require surgical attention. The prognosis is good, he is not expected to be in hospital very long and anticipates making a full recovery in a month or two if all goes well. So no need to panic or for a stream of posts wishing him a speedy recovery. That goes without saying. Paul or I will post updates if and when it becomes appropriate. In the meantime his regular Rangefinder column in Model Boats will continue as usual. Colin |

![]() Moderator 4708 forum posts 6077 photos 402 articles | That's OK Dave. Dave Wooley does a lot of work for Model Boats and we had understood that he didn't want to go public at this stage. The post on Mayhem was a bit alarmist and didn't reflect our understanding of the situation. When there is any further news we will let our members know. Colin |

Tuesday 7th February I can confirm that Dave Wooley is back home now and he expects to make a full recovery, and quite quickly too. Indeed, he seemed to be his usual cheerful self this morning. Paul. |

We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
