Chilly morning, a fair few members turned up and some two new members signed up incidentally one ,Allan, purchased Becky's old Club 500 'Pink Peril' and he plans to join in with the racing.
Fairly uneventful morning until Barry's Club 500 decided to have an unpiloted journey accross the lake before coming to an abrupt stop against the far wall. Short time later many of us took amusement from watching Barry pushing along his 500 with a long stick as he couldnt reach it by hand... before he left it to his good lady wife to pluck it from the water once it got within arms reach.
Rob brought a very quick boat for a test run, but was brought to an end when a little glitch caused a very brief period of interference and unintentional full speed take off. Dave C expertly piloted his springer tug to return the Cat to the landing stage.
Another test run of Keith's Club 500, where we thought the issues of slow speed had been sorted were dispelled when it took to the lake and was disappointingly slow. Another strip down needed this could become tiresome.
