Message from the Peterborough club secretary {last seen hang gliding from the airborne gazebo}


The club members would like to thank everybody concerned with the weekend for their efforts and welcome. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the sailing was good, the company was good and the weather was.... well the weather.
Looking forward to 2015


Thanks again

Don,t know what you did to John Dowd but saw him today. He is now sober but can not stop grining and telling us what a great weekend he had. Suprised he can remember anything after some of the previous posts. Will have to come with him next year.

Wicksteed 2014

What can I say  ? :- :-  :-) :-)

THANK YOU, to everyone who organised / prepared / ran the weekend.  :-))

Coming from as far away as we did, we had no clue what to expect, other than reports
on Mayhem from previous years .... we were welcomed by everyone we spoke to
(SWMBO is far chattier than I am !!).  %%

SO glad to have finally met some of the Mayhem cast of thousands, totally overwhelmed
and humbled by the craftsmanship on display.  :embarrassed:

If there is ever a next time, we'll be flying down with a small boat (Springer ?) in a box!!
1,158 road miles round trip in a car is sore on the bum !!! ;D ;D

once again, Thank You All.

Vic & Elaine. :-))

Anyone who says my sloe gin is the best he has ever had is a friend of mine.  :-))
John "Jay Dee " told me how old he was and I only wish i can carry on model boating / drinking all them spirits at his age, Power to him. It was nice to meet you John, Make sure you book in for next :-))

A WEEK TO RECOVER!!!!!!!
A WEEK, SERIOUSLY!
A friday set up by myself after my helper's car had a flat battery!
So I set my tent up,  JayDee's tent Nigels tent, johns tent, the scottish guys tent, Ian's tent any one else!!!!
Most of Friday night was spent quietly around a table full of liquid stuff talking about no other than Ghost and past mayhems!!!! Ghost is not forgotten!!!
Saturday, well damp but not old!!! A pleasant day spent retrieving capsized boats etc. Met a young Darren Carter and his Dad. Took the micky out of Nick and his penguin. No Im not picking that submarine up of your dad's mate!!!
The best retrieval/rescue ever has to go to Stavros and SteamboatPhil, THE 2014 INCIDENT.


 Never in the Wickteed Lake, Has so much been rescued, with so little equipment!


The squall.............what can you say but wow! Ive never seen so many people holding on to so few tents and they were still lifting UP!!!! Thankgod the tea urn survived!!!


Saturday night, a big thanks to the Scottish contingent for the liquid stuff the humour and the micky taking of the Luton BBQ!! But where were your BBQ's at 10pm when it was getting nippy! the BBQ was great fun as usual.
If anyone next year wants to stay for the BBQ it is worth it!! the banter was friendly and jovial as is the norm at Mayhem.


The nectar from Bill was superb, as was that bottle or 3 from the Scottish contingent, I supplied the cinnamon firewater. Someone liked it!!!


Sunday. What a stark contrast from Saturday. Bright and sunny and exceeingly warm. some great sailing over both days, especially the edwardian / victorian sail past.


Thanks to Paul from wicksteed for sailing my Atlantis! Great pic of her heeling over!! Dramatic!


A big thanks to a few peeps.
STAVROS and Kelly. just for being there! nice to see both of you and the new addition Katherine!
 Phill, the Scottish CONTINGENT, Jaydee (who can be talked into drinking!) Ian and Karl, Darren Carter and Dad the WICKSTEED MBC for all their help, Nick in particular! Ruth and Gina for manning the MOST IMPORTANT tent of the weekend, the tea and bacon roll one (where was MONK!) Ron Dean for always smiling no matter what!  Andy and wife from Models by design for just being there. Both traders stalwart supporters of Mayhem!


Bill D203 for being cool calm and responsible when none of us are!


And of course MARTIN! Mayhem would not happen or be the same without you!
And next year please stay for the BBQ mate!!! You will enjoy yourself even more!!!


All the best and here is to next year!!!


KLUNK


Mrs Steamboat Phill for allowing your other half out knowing that whatever promises he would make would be broken!
