A report from the Modelboatmayhem weekend on the 27-28th May at Wickstead park, Kettering U K.
I'm sure I'll recover from the weekend soon, hot sunshine, light winds and a great crowd, plus I get in 2 days of sailing models of many types. And trialled run the updated R Y Britannia model, see her in action on you tube.
https://youtu.be/r43tl9Xo8iw Firstly a massive thank you to Nick and the Wickstead club for for organising the thing
Thanks to Martin, Ruth and Gina for everything they do, and Bacon baps at 8 in the morning are the best thin on earth.
Thanks to the Wicksteed club for letting us make a mess of their lake
Most importantly, thanks to everyone who turned up.
It's hard to believe just how enormous this thing is getting now, at 10:30am on Saturday I counted 145 modellers lakeside, approx 36 boats on the water and there was not a clear space around the lake side that was not occupied by a club or trade stand.
lunchtime it was impossible to count how many people there were around the lake viewing the models by the public, what a advertisement for the hobby. And we picked up some new and younger members to the hobby.
Here's to next year
Full report on the modelboatmayhem site and still growing.
