I've just been informed that Marine Modelling International magazine has listed the Paddler Day as taking place on the 30th of September - That is INCORRECT!!

The CORRECT date is the 20th of September and NOT as listed in the magazine!

If you know of any of your club members that may be coming to the event, PLEASE make sure they know the correct date - We don't want people turning up only to be disappointed! Remember that not everyone has internet access, so please help us to get the correct date out to those people!

Regards

Okay, I'm off on my holidays as from tomorrow until the 12th of september, but I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our Paddler Day in two weeks time....

If anyone needs any help with accomodation, directions to our club, or anything else, please let me know and I'll reply as soon as I get back.

In the meantime, pray for fine weather and light winds!!

Regards
Eddy

Steaming trials in between weed this morning, followed by a wash and brush up ready for Darlington,
pity Red Hamish can't make it as Joe Hardy and I were looking forward to seeing you        Sandy

Hello chaps, no, sorry to say that I'll definitely not be down  to the paddlerday this year. I've got to work the whole of that weekend at the local Ideal Homes Exhibition over both Sat & Sun. Please enjoy yourselves and remember to take all the photos that the rest of us who cannot attend will be looking forward to.

cheers

At the moment the Met office are saying the weather will be cloudy, but fine, with light 8mph winds and 15-16 celsius....

lets hope they are right!!

My final update to the weather reports before the big day, for those that may be making last minute plans....

Sunday will be dry with broken cloud and some sunny spells. Temperature 17 celcius, with a light west to north-westerly breeze of 2mph gusting to 13mph.

So it sounds like it will be almost ideal conditions!  :yeahbaby

Perhaps, before the winter comes i might try and get down and come for a sail just to come say hello and (fingers crossed) bring Talisman and a new set of wheelsand the remainder of the knife sets.
All the best to you and all at Paddler day.

I'm sorry to hear that Kim, I was looking forward to meeting.....

Anyway, if you fancy a trip down you'd be more than welcome - The kettle is always on in the clubhouse :)

Pity you can't make it Kim.

Anyway there should still be two Model Steamer Club paddlers there on Sunday.

Slight suggestion Eddy - any chance of avoiding the Great North Run next year - looks like this is the reason it's been so blooming difficult to get accomodation. Only sussed this out when one of the guys in my office asked for sponsorship!! Every travel lodge / premier inn within 100 miles of Newcastle is booked out.

Still, batteries are being charged - (hopefully) - accomodation finally secured through a cancelation - guess the runner who pulled out has cold feet - and prayers have been made to the weather gods. I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.

Looking forward to meeting you Richard - The good weather has been booked for months, so no need to pray to the weather gods.

Hans and Daniel from Switzerland, Joerg from Germany, Andrew from Edinburgh, and I are all going for a curry on saturday night, so you might want to stand upwind of us on sunday morning :)

Is there not regulations about mailing/shipping "Hazardous Waste or Goods"  :P
Personally I would go for the souvlakia and Greek salad
