Larry

I often wonder just how many lists I'm on.

Kim

Is the Ben still a bouncy trip in hard weather?

Only three sleeps to go.

Paul

[Kimosubby ShipyardsParticipant @kimosubbyshipyards]

Hiya Paul,

actually I thought she'd be awful but experience has shown she's a very good steady boat even in a blow. The passenger space is positioned in the near null point, so every thing is moving round about but if you stay seated it's not too bad. Mind, I was on the ben the day she went in a SE 9. Astern out from the pier as they did then (the new breakwater was not built) and did she jump.

I was in the bar and very thing cascaded down from one side to the other. The barman actually climbed up and into the kitchen area to escape flying fridges and bottles. Took near an hour to get a pint! Oh and the crossing took just under 7 hours to Liverpool!

Yup 3 sleeps, then all aboard the skylark! We can have a good chat and chew the cud too.

What's this list he's on about – he'll be lucky to read it after Jean's finished with him……………

Aye, see ya, Kim

[The Long BuildParticipant @thelongbuild]

Ben ?. ( Understand now, your post not there when I started mine )

Yep 3 Long sleeps for me !!

Anyway the " The Final Furlong Bar" has been located,( you may need to press F5 to refresh your screen) may not be much to drink by the time you lot get there !!!! so no need to pinch Paul and Bobs slot..

Regards.

2 sleeps to go………………..Its like being a kid at Christmas…..only now I'm the jolly fat guy.

I have started a website to promote the fundraising design work **LINK** not much there at the moment but I will be filling it out over the next few days.

[CookieOldParticipant @cookieold]

Hi Santa , If we all bring our stockings will you fill them full of goodies for us By the way Paul do you know were you and Bob will be located in the complex.

Hi Dave

Yes we are in the Weigh In Bar…. although I am starting to worry as I cant find it on the racecourse interactive map.

Paul

[The Long BuildParticipant @thelongbuild]

Now the Interactive thing is nowt to do with me !!!

As you walk in reception, pass the reception desk, pass the keal hauled and hot iron pokered !! crew member , there are doors on the left, in there is the Lancaster Sweet, This leads into the Sandon which in turn ( If I am Correct ) leads to the Weigh in Bar.

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Hi Larry

Its easy to tell that the Haydock interactive map isn't anything to do with you as its nowhere near your usual high standard.

Thanks for the directions and when I arrive on Friday afternoon I shall bring some soothing balm for your hot pokered wounds.

Paul

ps Do you want the small jar of balm or the super big family size tub

[Colin MillerParticipant @colinmiller68338]

If it's your first time at this show you will enjoy it.

we ( Scottish model warship assoc) are attending again and looking forward to it

were upstairs so if you passing say hello

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Paul

Just back from a few days in Wales in the camper

Came back on the back of an AA transporter!….Got a serious water problem!

Yes me and the campervan!

They think it's the water pump gland…..Nothing serious

Anyway…..Got the Haydock tickets and stuff……Many thanks, Paul

Will roll up at Haydock Saturday morning

Hope to see all you chaps on our stand and have a chit chat

I am hoping to take your photo too and post them on the website, on our thread

If you don't like the idea, just let me know

Bob

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Hi Bob

Glad to see you got back ok (good old AA)

I'm having a little bit of trouble getting my head around the model boat fundraising blog site but I should have it sorted out tomorrow.

I will be at Haydock on Friday at 3pm…… if I can find the weigh in bar….despite Larry's excellent directions the bar doesn't show up on the Haydock Park website (so I will follow the smell of hot poker and roasted flesh)

Paul

[Gareth JonesParticipant @garethjones79649]

The trial packing has gone well this morning and I have managed to get eleven boats, including three Marblehead sized yachts (50 inches long) into a Honda CRV and roof box. Not quite sure where we are going to put our overnight bag so Elizabeth and I might be a bit scruffy and smelly by Sunday.

Come and see us on the Vintage Crew stand in the Final Furlong Bar.

Gareth

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hi Gaz and Liz

You could do with a camping trailer………..Or even a small caravan?

Are you bringing your latest barge build?

Bob

[The Long BuildParticipant @thelongbuild]

Gareth, No heavy breaking !!!

[Gareth JonesParticipant @garethjones79649]

Sorry Bob, no room for Spider J or Nessie, vintage model yachts take priority this weekend.

Everything is well strapped down Larry, its the heavy lifting and carrying I am worried about (but we have got a trolley in there somwhere.)

Gareth

[Kimosubby ShipyardsParticipant @kimosubbyshipyards]

Our car is just as full Gareth, and I've only 8 boats, a rope walk and sail gear + sewing machine. And at last minute, an extra passenger (not with us but at same hotel and event as a watcher.)

Will be starting out at just after 6am in morning, see you at Haydock about 2.30 – 3.00 as we are doing a quick shop on way in. We don't have a Sainsburys and need some Milo, like 16 tins!

Good job we've a heavy lift lift up to our bar display area, and thank goodness you have a trolley included.

See U all tomorrow, and Bob Saturday, aye, Kim.

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Hope you all have a great time, I will be looking forward to the reports in due course.

Colin

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Kim

It looks like it should be a nice crossing tomorrow and there is nothing better than a fry up breakfast on the Irish Sea

btw Tesco sell Milo or has that one in Douglas closed down.

Colin

Everything is planned and we are going to have a great time, Bob will be taking loads of photos.

Paul

And I have sorted out the glitches in the fundraising website http://model-boat-fundraising.blogspot.co.uk/ pop in and have a look…………..let me know what you think.

[CookieOldParticipant @cookieold]

Hi Gareth , I think Honda should rename the CRV- Tardis look forward to seeing you on Saturday , By the way Paul what is Milo i have never heard of it.

Best Regards Dave ( see ya Saturday )

[Kimosubby ShipyardsParticipant @kimosubbyshipyards]

Paul, keep the secret – if he doesn't know now then he never should. Some things are best kept amongst those in the know, Nano nano, zarcumbi. Wonder if he ever looks things up on the internet? I would.

A bacon bap with snotty egg will see me through till dinner, but we still take a flask £1.75 a culpa is a bit much.

Never found Milo in any Tescoes we've been in, and that's a few. For a while it disappeared and we had to resort to the great god of the web "Amaze-`on" (trying not to advertise) and can get free delivery to here at times. A small firm over here actually stock it, but with the bikes on again, MGP, they run low. Us buying a slab of 24 clears them out.

Forecast is good, but tide is agin us, so it'll be 12.30+ before we're in.

Adios, aye, Kim

[The Long BuildParticipant @thelongbuild]

Had to Google Milo…Soon as I saw the picture I realised I had seen it before..

Popped over in my Lunch , all starting to take shape, tables, chairs ready .
