Anything I can do to help.

From speaking with Rob in the last couple of days, I believe a further announcement is imminent.

Just keep checking the BBS over the next few days.

Yeah, like he said. Oh, a crash helmet would be good too. And don't forget fireproof pit clothing. Plus you'll need a flak jacket, sorry I forgot to mention that.

Ooo! Ooo! Don't forget that we are going to be (censored) on the Saturday! And there's also the secret (censored)! The manager doesn't mind too much as long as we are a minimum of 200 m from the hotel, or so. We shouldn't need the fire extinguishers, anyway (I hope).

This is starting to sound more like it's being held in rural Alabama, than Amersfoort.

I've just had word that as well as the (censored), there will be at least one, scaled up version of the (censored) at the meet. Hopefully, the live telemetry images should be working, too.

On a side note, I have managed to arrange CO2 extinguishers for the human fireball - they won't be needed, but hey! the event insurance doesn't cover self-immolation

Anyone wishing to bring their RC gear - floating or flying - please let me know so I can organise it into a timetable please!

To all attending: this year I want to ensure the girls in the group get a bit of personal attention, so I am trying to organise a manicurist for the Saturday afternoon.

Can you all tell wives/girlfriends/female hangers-on who will be coming as well and ask who would be interested in a manicure or a beauty session. Cost is at the moment unknown but I need a minimum of 4 bookings to make it worth her while.

Let me know!

Slight delay on the website, I'm afraid - watch this space!
