Well, as Graham Ashby has now left the helm of model boats (he might still turn up) we wont be having coverage from the magazine until Nick writes a report up.......Nick I can help with that!
But on a higher plane.....I have found my hat and goggles, That should please CarlMT as he wore the goggles last year at Deans marine weekend and looked like Boris out of Men in Black (google it). I have also found a certain outfit that will be worn in part on Saturday.......But I cannot find my tuxedo for saturday night!
PS bring some warm clothing for the BBQ, it did get very chilly last year!!!

Hi all Deans Mari e will be at Wickstead over the weekend, not a full stand as the old bones can not cart it all 4 times, so if you want anything in particular gives us a mail and we will put it in the van, boat bits only ?
We will have on display on our stand the next release to the range, first time out on show to the public and to be released very soon,
Large Gas Carrier tanker, full of gas, from Ron see you at the show, bring yachts, we do not need the wind, still have not found the marquee from last year.Regards Deans Marine

Ron's probably loading the van now, so if you have any orders or specific items you what him to bring ( and avoid P&P! ),

.... get your orders in ASAP! - https://www.deansmarine.co.uk/ - deansmarine@yahoo.co.uk

well, we are coming up my lad and I ... we have not been before and not really sure what we are going to see... other than a big lake and some boats things LOL...

now I had a problem with my wooden launch boat but I did order a new receiver and it's arrived ( where it is now though :-/ ) on the off chance that was the problem with the boat but not sure if I will get time to put it all togeather gulp!!!

I would like to bring out sail boat but that's old crystal transmitter so I am guessing this is going to be an issue??

are there going to be any trade sales for picking up bits and bobs for builds we have on going? I would like to say we would bring our Pegasis but it's er... in bits LOL..

So might have to ask to borrow a boat if any one is kid enough to lend us one... We are coming from Southampton.. and collecting lifeboats for next builds from a chap we are meeting up there..

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #285 on:** May 24, 2018, 07:37:49 pm »

Hi surfer71,
I know Ron Dean will be there not sure who else, also no problem on 27 of 40 meg, we do have a frequency board, I still use 27 meg (not bad for a straight running boat)
If my grandchildren don't destroy the boats I am more than happy to loan you one for 2 days of....well MAYHEM

You will find me in the Blackheath MPBC gazebo,

Hey Klunk you thought you had a lot to get rid of, not sure there is space in the car for Steamboat Apprentice with all the bits I have, and there certainly isn't space for vegetables.

Klunk · « **Reply #286 on:** May 24, 2018, 08:51:14 pm »

hi bring anything you have. Ron Dean will be here and there are some second hand bits and bobs for sale. mainly its a get together sail. old crystal sets are not a problem. hope to see you up here . introduce yourself when you come up.

Klunk · « **Reply #287 on:** May 24, 2018, 08:54:22 pm »

lol Phil. i think i have 20 plus hulls and boats for sale, motors, radios and chargers/power supplies plus a compressor. no green stuff in sight.
had a shower now off to bed. big day ahead tomorrow. kettle will be on once you get here! ps no coffee only tea!

Finally got the pass from management so sorting stuff out.
Is anyone taking a charger that will cope with 12v (10cell) NiMh battery pack? Mine only runs up to 8 cell.May not need it since there could easily be a sinking feeling and I could split the pack but I thought I'd ask first.
Cheers for now.

SteamboatPhil · « **Reply #289 on:** May 25, 2018, 09:05:21 am »

I will have one with me, but sadly there is no power on site although I do have an inverter for mains in the car, so do bring it along

Phil

It seems my wife is packing for a 3 year expedition to unknown lands rather than a few days in Kettering.
Hoping to set off at around 5pm Tonight for the 155 mile journey of hell around the M25 and along the M1 - we're booked in at a place a few miles away so should be able to be there nice and early in the Morning.

Can't wait to join in again after 2 years of missing it.
