NEW Florida Fast Electric Club

[tiqueman]

Just wanted to pop in and thank all of you, Jim, Jeff, Rick and eveyone else, for your info about the club and welcoming my friend and I to the site. It was a pleasure talking to all I spoke with. For those who arent in this club, these are fantastic people and a fun bunch to be with. Unlike when I used to race electric cars, EVERYONE is more than helpful and willing to help out another when need be. I look foward to joining in the near future.

And Rick, If memory serves correctly, you live near me, lets get together and run sometime soon. There are MANY lakes in my community to run on.... MANY

Thanks again guys!
Scott

[sailr]

Sounds like fun Mike! Wish I could go. It looks like I may be going back into surgery soon so will have to pass. You are a scholar and a gentleman to make such an offer!

Next West Florida Model Boat Club meet in Sarasota will be August 23, 9 a.m. unless anyone objects. We pretty much settled on the third Sunday of every month.

Still no progress on the Land O' Lakes site unfortunately. I guess I'm going to go ahead and do the agreement with Pasco County for the lake on the park property on Trinity Blvd. During the rainy season, it may not be accessible. We would need to get a LOT more members to be able to afford improving access to the site. But at least we could nail it down. The only cost for now would be $45 to Namba for providing the liability insurance to the county.

We ordered a trolling motor for the gheenoe and it should be here this week. Also will pick up a battery for it.

Try to make it out next time guys! Last time was a bit slim. We missed you!

[sailr]

Trolling motor is here. Will have a battery for it at the next meet. No more paddlin'...yippee!

Sad news. Herb Stewart passed away this morning. I am in touch with the family. Will try to keep you posted as to funeral arrangements, etc.

If you all wouldnt mind, Id like to show my face. Jim and I were talking about my 32" cat at the last meet. Ive been working on it pretty extensively over the past week and thought some of you may want to see it. Its getting there. I wont be racing, being unemployed at the time, I cant pay the dues as of now, but Id like to spectate a bit.

[obrien]

p-mono if i get it fixed, and spec hydro for me.

[sailr]

By all means! Please come and bring your cat and any other boats you would like. We need to have a 'guest' policy. We can discuss it next Sunday. We do need for you to be a NAMBA member, however, because of the insurance. Chime in here guys. Do the members want to institute a 'guest' policy? At the airplane club I belong to, a guest can come three times so long as he/she is 'sponsored' by one of the members. After that, they have to pay the club dues. I, for one, am highly in favor of it!

BTW, I'm also bringing a SPEC Cat!
