Now only 2 weeks to go until the big day....

I'm really starting to look forward to this now, even though it comes in the middle of me moving house!

Looking forward to meeting lots of old friends there, and hopefully make some new ones?

Regards
Eddy

Evening all.  The lake is ready :)  The prizes are ready  :trophy and the forecast for Sunday is dry with sunny periods and light winds  :great.

Eddy, as you may recall, is out of broadband contact until next week  :(  but will be at paddler day  :goodnews  so from me, come all and welcome to darlington.

PS do bring a model or two as well ;)
Cheers from Bob Golder

Sorry but I must apoligise for my absence at forthcoming paddler day on Sunday.
I am still fighting the big C but don't feel strong enough for model boating, and the wife won't allow me to drive (either boats or Cars!).

Have a good day,

Thanks for the good wishes Sandy, your boats will be well represented by the "WEE LORNE".

All the best.

I phoned Eddy today re CURRY TIME   :gathering  He suggests having one on Sunday evening after the show then he'll be able to travel back to Pickering later.  Anyone wanting to do that would be welcome.

Hi All,
I was supposed to be heading down today to stay overnight but really didn't fancy staying by myself for all the distance to travel...

Geoff - Best of luck to your team ... as long as you aren't using the spare time to further your fleet for next year ... that's cheating :)

Bob - I started a 24 hour fast in preparation for the superb catering & possible Curry ... I lasted until lunch time .... good intentions and all that....

Sandy - Really good to hear from you and you will be missed!
Hope to see you at the Northeast show next year! All the Best.

Well off to bed to worry about what i will forget ...

See you all tomorrow.
Regards,
Kim

Hi All,

What did i forget ... my Camera  ::)

Super Weather, Great Company, Fantastic models ... all in all a great day ...

 ..... If Carlsberg did catering ... Well they still wouldn't be as good as the club caterers! ...

Roll on next year.
Regards,
Kim

A great day indeed, again no camera i am afraid.  I still can not believe i actually won the Hull raffle, Got the hull past the wife no trouble so far   :gift

My thanks have to go to Darlington MBC and to Kim at Clyde for the hull.
