Video night update

[Jon Fuller]

OK,
I went down the Old Courthouse today and confirmed/paid for, the function room for the 8th January.

As mentioned before, the aim has been to keep the price for the room hire and food to around £10.00 per head.

I now have a copy of the finger buffet menu, which is as follows:

BBQ Drumsticks

Chicken Satay and Peanut Sauce

Dimsums and Marie Rose Sauce

Quiche

Sandwiches (various)

Cocktail Sausages

Sausage Rolls

Onion Rings & Goujons

Cheese & Pineapple

Vol au Vents

Cheese & Pickled Onion

French Bread

Selection of Cheeses

Obviously, the cost per head depends on the final number attending.

based on the above menu, if we get 30 people, which I hope we can, the price will be £10.50 each.

Now, whilst I've already paid for the room, I need to give the venue cofirmation on numbers to cater for, and payment for that, so I'm gonna need some commitment as soon as possible from those intending to come ..PLEASE!

For all you old sea dogs, who wanna navigate there the old way, the Old Courthouse is at:

51.17.30.2 N
000.46.03.1 W

:D

I have access to the room at 4pm (to set up some video bollix)

The room/it's bar, officially opens at 7.30pm, but early comers (I've heard it's ones of Matts little problems! :speechles :sperm: ) can take to the main pub bar for a drink or two to get revved up.

The bar closes at 11.45pm, and we've gotta be out pretty sharp, so it'll be 'round to Matts' for the coffees :D

It's really just a good excuse to have a meet up n get to know a few nobbers from the forum, with a bit of fun with some vids.

[Jon Fuller]

Is everyone ready for the event of the year?

It's dawned on me that some of you may have some good powerboat footage yourselves, if so, feel free to bring it along, and we'll run it/copy it, as appropriate :D

[Jon Fuller]

Who made these as kids?

I reckon anyone who fancies a challenge, should build/prepare a cotton reel tank, to present at the video night for scrutineering for a wee 'sprint' over a set distance, say, a yard!

Any takers?

[Captain Chaos]

I'm squatting up......lets see what

hows stuff works.com

has to offer

but that thing looks a bit serious!

[Gav]

yeah i;ll knock one up!:hatchet:

[Jon Fuller]

[Jon Fuller]

Think I might add another rubber band!....need to keep the racing 'advantage' :D

[Jon Fuller]

Now Lozza, don't you go turning up with some contraption developed by the 'Ford laboratory'!

This is Cotton reels at dawn.

(good link tho')

[LorenZo]

Will have a Team aRSe one

Carbons legal right? - its used in pencils.

[Jon Fuller]

Racing Pencils?

[LorenZo]

Are non stock, lightened reels legal, a min weight?

Is there a min/max reel diameter (like the Cube Rule)?

Any checks for band Nitro twang improver?

What about Navigation?

I wouldn't go there! Remember Cape Town! :lol:lol: :speechles

OK, bring on your lightweight, racing cotten reel Tank.

When the flag drops, the bullshit stops! :D

[Gav]

is there a size limit to the cotton reel? and if there are different sizes will we be allocated a class and proceed to heats?

thankyou.

Team Cotton Eyed Gavs (midlands champs 2004)

[Jon Fuller]

Midlands shmidlands!! bring it on.

[LorenZo]

I ment the course is it a straight - no corners

Capetown - that's ring of fire burning neckless country is'nt it?

[Jon Fuller]

I think it had better be straight, my cotton reel tank doesn't have any steering.

Maybe the shmidlands champion has steering :D

[Gav]

You think im daft FGT??

i aint tellin you wether my championship cotton reel has steering or not...........huh..some peope eh!:drain:

[Jon Fuller]

I aint scared! my 'reel' is FB Design, and my Elastic band is by SeaTek.

[Foolish]

Gonna add some "SMOKE" (black) to my reel to simulate a "Diesel"

:laugh:

[LorenZo]

Currently building mi "Argo" project - plan to have photos later

[Captain Chaos]

Is Junction M3 Junction 4a the best way to get there? (We'll be coming from Wokingham).

[Jon Fuller]

4a, or 4, either will do fine.

[Ice Kiddie]

Thanks, O quiet one!

:aaahhh: Wasn't me, honest! Ain't that the rough bit of town? :drool: :sperm: :speechles

[Ice Kiddie]

OK, so we could come by bicycle then! :dizzy:

[Ice Kiddie]

Matt that's a very generous offer... but we're far too polite to take you up on it! :D

Mrs Nobbs is nearly as teetotal as JF so I've volunteered her as driver :seaman:

[LorenZo]

Having lost mi camera don't have any photos.

But mi "Worlds Most Successful" Cotton Reel Racing Tank Team is a goer. Have two tanks lined up with a bag of bands and of course a full support team - err The Captain offered to Drive.

[Johnny Rocket]

Thanks to Jon and Matt for a great evening! Good to put a few more faces to names :)

I'm off to :snooz: now -- I wonder how long you'll keep going at Matt's house! :cheers:

[Louise]

It was great to meet up again with old friends and meet the people behind the silly forum names. But we're lightweights so didn't go to Matt & Vix's. Thanks to Jon & Matt for organising the evening. Some great footage Jon - especially enjoyed seeing Gav71 on film and thanks for allowing Blue Ice to put in an appearance (albeit a brief one as you roared past us :rolleyes: - and I hear you were only up 'til 4amish editing it together! Something about recording for 2 hours before finding out it hadn't recorded! :hugegrin:

Looking forward to seeing the photos!

[Jon Fuller]

Lightweight's!........we're the 4am gang
