WICKSTEED PARK MODEL BOAT CLUB
NEWSLETTER APRIL 09
April 19th
This is the date of the visit to Knightcote Model Boat Club. Bring whatever sort of boat you want to. Those of you who have been at the club meetings will have got directions etc. Anyone who wants to know - get in touch 01536 516113 and I will be pleased to tell you. Knightcote mbc have their own water with private parking and their own clubhouse and they are looking forward to our visit.
May 4th
This will be our normal meeting night at the Beeswing, but as it is a bank holiday we thought we would change it into a Ladies Social evening. You are invited to bring your wife/partner/girlfriend/mistress(!) with you to enjoy a meal and a social occasion. PLACES ARE LIMITED, so first come first served. The meal will consist of a carvery, glass of wine, tea or coffee and will cost £9 per person. If you would like to come, I will need to know numbers asap, and have the money by the next club meeting.
We will be having a raffle to boost the club funds, so if you could spare an unused birthday or Christmas present for it, that would be great.
May 23/24th
This is Mayhem weekend. We will need help to put the marquee up and take it down, also some stewards to help with parking and visitors. There are things that we will need help with so we will talk about it at the meeting before the event (May 18th). A number of you complained you didn't know it was on last year or you were on holiday so mark the calendar now and cancel your holiday so you can enjoy this weekend! Last year we had over 150 boats on show or sailing, and we all had a great time - apart from the appalling weather on the Sunday.
We have started treating the weed in the lake. We have another dose of bugs to put in but we still seem to have a little bit of weed left, but we are closely monitoring the situation.
We now look after the lake area so if you see any rubbish, please pick it up and put it in the bin, plus any sticks that are left from the hedge cutting exercise could you put them over the hedge. We want to stop the geese fouling the area and soon the geese can't fly as they are breeding so we want to block up any holes now.
When you are parking near the lake, please make sure you are displaying your 2009 parking permit (green) as Wicksteed are going to tighten up on parking there this year.
Dennis Hubble has got a group of people who like to meet on a Sunday afternoon at the lake, as well as the morning, so if you are interested come along on a Sunday afternoon.
