FUN DAY AT BILLING AQUADROME
« on: January 28, 2009, 07:38:39 pm »

 :-) :-) :-)

Hello Sailors

Firstlly this is not meant to be in competition with Martin's Mayhem day

However if you fancy coming back to the region a couple of weeks later Northampton and District Model Boat Club are organising a fun day at Billing Aquadrome in Northampton on Sunday 14 June 2009. The event will coincide with an Outdoor Leisure Exhibition so there should be lots of people around. We have invited local clubs and, hopefully, there could be some trade stand of interest to us model boaters.

To the best of my knowledge the best deals for camping can be had for advance bookoings:
www.billingaquadrome.com

Hope you can join us and there might be the odd prize or two.

Hi Digger

Yes we still meet at Billing and also in Abington Park.

Billing is closed in January but once open we sail every other Tuesday evening (daylight permitting) and have started a Wednesday afternoon club for those not working. We sail just about everything apart from I/C, the current trend being towards Solings.

Will probably use this facility on Sunday afternoons as well.

Regards

Hi Guys

Think we could represent many sections on this 'fun/regatta day' I am checking with Billing Aquadrome to see if we can, at least have some I/C demos.

Will update you in due course.

Best regards

With 7 or 8 Solings in the Northampton Club and whatever else comes along this will be a certainty

Hows the IC talks coming along?

I'll have my Crusader running by then and I could bring the Viper too.

How big is your lake? it it the one with the canal boats on it at Billing? I lived there 3 years and never knew you were there, and go past it twice a month and still haven't seen you...

HI andyn

Still waiting to hear about I/C but will let you know as soon as I do.

We have been sailing on the Marina for some time now (every other Tuesday evening during the light nights)

During the latter half of 2008 we sailed on the jetski lake (no jetskis at present) at Billing's invitation. This lake has been the venue for I/C events in the past.

Hi all,
      Hopefully this year will bring the weather and if billing allow we should be able to put on a good day.
At the moment ic discussion going on still.
We have billing staff on our membership list and we get more info via that route.
Hopefully we will have more news when the park officially open at the end of the month.

What no one has mentioned is unless there is some concessions
the entrance cost to billing aquadrome is £10.00 per car,
so get together to reduce the cost.

I know that I live here and not a member of the club but when I askd about using the waters (ponds & rivers) for RC boats I was given a blanket O.K. as long It doesn't interfere with other park users.
I have seen visitors usng "nitro buggies" on the park and nobody objects to them so I don't see why you wouldn't be permitted to use IC motors as long as the noise is kept to a reasonable level.

Hi Guys

Just to confirm that there will be a charge of £10 to bring cars into Billing Aquadrome and I cannot do anything about this.

You can, however, have up to 6 people in one car and you will also have access to the outdoor leisure exhibition which is on the same day.

There will be some awards for best boat of the day etc.

Regards
