Dive-in to Summer 2011. 11th & 12th June

[SubcultureParticipant @subculture]

Got some great news for those of you who enjoy attending the Dive-ins.

Thanks to the cooperation of St Albans Sub Aqua Club (http://www.sasac.co.uk/),
our gracious hosts, the 2011 Summer Dive-in, which will be the third
Summer event, will take place for a WHOLE weekend on Saturday and Sunday
11th and 12th June 2011, from 10am until 4pm both days. That’s a full
12 hours of crystal clear water to sail your sub in, with the addition
of a licensed bar and clubhouse.

Those of you who have attended
previous events at this venue, know what a nice facility it is. For
those who have yet to attend a Summer Dive-in, the St Albans venue is
equipped with a 100ftx60ft swimming pool with a 9ft deep end, and we get
exclusive use. That’s large enough for all but the biggest of boats,
but to give you an idea at the last event, two engel typhoons were
happily simultaneously swimming around the pool.

This pool is
filled during the Summer months where the sub aqua club use it for
training, suit testing and social events. It has minimal chlorine
content, and as our event is near the start of Summer, the water is as
clear as gin.

There is usually a tame scuba diver on hand to recover any boats that run into trouble.

For
those who may be coming some distance, you may wish to stay locally
overnight. St Albans is a very nice place to stay, very historic, with
beautiful parkland and excellent shopping facilities.

It is
quick and simple to travel in to the heart of London via rail, and is
close to two motorways (M1 and M25) so is easy to reach by car.

Here is the location on Google Maps-

I
appreciate advance payment where possible, as it makes life simpler for
me on the day and allows me to budget. I can receive payment via
personal cheque, or Paypal, but please don’t send cash, as this can
easily get lost in the post and also makes refunds difficult.
If you want any more details, or I have missed something out, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Please make a note of our website http://www.diveintomodelsubmarines.co.uk
which shows videos and pictures from past events, and also our facebook
page, which is open to anyone which has similar content and also allows
feedback from those who attend http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=133360626703083

I
hope to see you there in 2011, but in the meantime if you don’t hear
from me before, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and look forward
to a great 2011 for our hobby.

Andy
