![]() 22 forum posts 4 photos | Well as the event gets closer the plans are well underway, that is to say we have a load of ideas, well just a couple really, Springers, straight running and club 500's on the small lagoon, everything else that floats on the large lagoon and the OMRA lot on the main lake (well they do need a lot of space). We will accomadate all styles of models and will have several courses laid out for your fun, and of course we have the BBQ and night sail on the Saturday----so start fitting lights (for the boats--we'll light the BBQ)
And if you run out of bits---well, there will be a few traders there who should be able to help.
We will also have a bring and buy table, so search out all that stuff you no longer need and bring it along (try and keep it boat-ish) sell to fellow boaters and buy more stuff you can take back...............
The will be mains available during the day for battery charging (mark your batteries and chargers !!!) So you will be able to spend the whole 2 days sailing.
More details when we have made them up..........
Oh and don't forget, free camping next to the lake

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.
