I don't think I know who you are I guess I will find out tomorrow...

You probably don't remember me, but I rode down with Curtis back in December to the last meet at the Edelweiss, I had a great time like I'm sure we all did and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again!

I'll probably remember once I see you! Again looking forward to it!

Well it never fails got got a call to haul a bunch of heavy equipment out of Niagara on the lake and its hard to say no to 2000 denaro for a few hours work and the use of my rigs so off we go this should be exciting on this shitty of a day ...atleast there no traffic thank god ..hauling over size sorry guys not Gona make it

HOW DID IT GO?

Excellent day my friends......good to meet some of you face to face.
Thanks to all those who took time to help out a newbie !!!
See you at the next battle

Sorry I couldn't. Make it guys probly a good thing I spent the afternoon in the hospital and now in bed sick as a dog ...man burning the candle at both ends catches up after 3 weeks of continuous hauling and minimal sleep

Had a great time. Cant wait for the next one

Thanks to dgssekirk for making all the arrangements and setting this event.

All the things we enjoy at these meets don't just happen by themselves, it takes thought, effort, planing and in this case, setting it up with the facility owner; thanks for taking care of all that stuff.  

We very much need a set of name tags next meet, I've already forgotten more names than I'd usually expect myself to! 

I had a tonne of fun. I'm very happy to have helped with the various electronic issues that cropped up, too.

....................and, thanks to Stinger for handling the memberships and other business details at the meet 


This is another time and effort consuming job.

pictures please. Stince!

Was a really fun time as usual, nice see the old and new members, most definitely need to have name tags next time though.  Kudos to Dean for arranging the hall and all the the other members who helped out.

The only thing that  sucked was getting stuck on the 401 for an hour on the drive home.   
I'm pretty sure the detour they sent me on cross the US border too.   


Sorry Tom, I didn't take any picture, but sure some did.

Stince,
We should have a windsor tanker get together. @your basement!

Oh my base is big, but not big enough for battles. If the weather every gets warm enough, my backyard will work though, we just have to watch out the dog land mines!   

we can have a KV-1 building session.

I just order the last few parts I need to start, but I still need to track down a battle system for it.

I have one, i can lend you first. you can return after you get yours.

Thanks, but I'm planning on embedding the emitter in the the turret.

good idea.

First, next time we are doing name badges!!!
Thanks to everyone who came out and I mean that...A great turnout! For people to come out this time of year is awesome especially those of you who put up with the long distance driving thank you again.

A big thank you to Ian for doing memberships and generally meeting and greeting. A big thank you to Strato helping out the newbies with electronics, A big thank you to Stince who came all the way from Windsor and brought more trees, a big thank you to Ed who brought the cool rocks and trees, and again to Ian for the bridge which everyone had fun on, thanks to Capt. Action? who brought the poor infantry who got pulverized every chance everyone had!       Thanks to everybody who helped set up the field. And last but not least thanks to Curtis Immortal Hobbies for the gift certificates and feeding our crack addiction!!!
We had 22 pay to battle and I'm sure I missed a couple of people to cough it up but that's O.K. I will hunt you down next time!       By my count with some new people who popped in and out we had about 30 all together! 

Hope everyone enjoyed the scenarios and they seemed to work more or less. Need to come up with team markers. I am thinking about low adhesion (think clings) coloured stickers for the top of the apples to determine teams? We used the flags last year but they tended not to stick very well and did mar your paint job if you weren't careful. The other idea I thought of is a small piece of velcro on the top of the apple and a shorter little flag with a velcro base. They would have to be very light weight. Just some random thoughts to put out there.

Anyone who took pics would love to see them. I was too busy! That's it for now!

TXS
Dean...

I think you missed one person Dean, a BIG thank you goes to the guy who organized all of this and also somehow rigged that he won the gift certificate too. That's a big thank you to you Dean. If anyone has ever organized an event like this, you know how much work it is and our appreciation goes out to you !


To all those who took pictures at the battle day, please send me them to me and I will have them posted on the web site. PM me if you have the pictures and I will send you the e-mail address to send them to. thx!
