Al The Comm would be very appreciative if some of the members were available to get to the lake early this next Sunday to help put up the gazebo, stalls and tables for the Open Day.

As most of you know it can get very busy parking on ordinary Sundays.

 This Sunday will be no exception with more members , kids off school now and the weather seems to be getting better!, still won't dwell on that in case I put the mockers on it!!.

So if you get down to the lake it will be to your advantage all round won't it!.

Two cannibals were having dinner, 'your wife makes a great roast', says one. 

'I know' says the other, 'But I'm going to miss her!'.

Two cannibals eating a clown and one says to the other 'Does this taste funny to you'?.

Eric's new buy, The Boat with no name!!.

Another new buy on the lake this 'Joysway' 'Orion' Almost RTR. 

Last but not least this is John Goddard's latest fast boat, and I mean Fast!.

On the subject of fast boats,Had a message from Al the Comm,

 Would everyone take care with their fast boats on the water at the present time as there are lots of ducks with their chicks on the water.

Its mostly the fast electrics that are that fast that the ducks can't get out of the way and if there were enough complains from Joe and Josephine Public, and the RSPB were to get involved there could be problems! 

The lake is a grade 3 listed bird reserve so please be careful at this time!.
