wow what a great weekend, a big thank you to Joe and Bartons for making this happen. weekends like this make me glad i am part of this hobby and am lucky enough to be a member of Bartons. They always make everyone feel welcome and part of the club - even Joe

Started well with an instruction session for Joe and Jay to show them how to put the tent up. did not go to well as Joe took it down with half his stuff in there.

The weekend was one of those times where things just worked, no plan just let it happen. Thanks to Charlie Wiood for letting Louis have a go on his RC car - there's a £200 bill for Christmas. The kids seem to have a great time the younger ones running riot over the campsite whilst the teenagers had a bit of bloke time in the tent.

The barbeque was a success and i think the marshmallow toasting ran to over 10 kids and one big Kid - you know who you are Jan. Thanks to Louise and Ali for mothering everybody.

I kept my record as Jakes Pit Crew intact, running repair on the Cardon appeared to work. Between that, running repairs on the boys foam gliders the tally runs at:
6m diamond tape
assorted cocktail sticks and carbon
4 small bottles of superglue - 10 year olds don't respect foam gliders
1 3D Buster - nobody told me the firework fired 3 inch plastic bullets - managed to get into the breach as it where not realising what was going to happen.

great weekend, great weather and great company - what a hobby

there are a few photo's to followCourage - Fear that has said its prayers
