UK Fast ElectricModel Boat Racing National Championships 2006 - Results

The MPBA National Fast Electric Model Boat Racing Championships were again run over two days, providing time for renewing frienships and aquaintances, idle and not so idle chit chat and of course some racing. It was also really good to see a number of the racers partners, apprentices, and of course the audience. Two of the Audience were there all weekend - good on you... and keep taking the pills ;) . The conditions were changeable from blazing sun and calm (ish) water to bucketing rain (which went with the calm water). Despite these conditions the racers were bouyed by the once again excellent food supplies from the Brid Crew. The new pit shelter was a godsend and helped immensly when the conditions deteriorated. Despite the weather racing was on time with only 3 late starts through the whole weekend and it was a definite joy to not have to constantly chase racers up. Saturday night and the lake grounds became the venue for the AGM. I expect our new Secretary (Simon Mitchell) will distribute the minutes, recording many things but not least the rule and class changes for next year, shortly.

Before leaving I have to mention the Brid crew who again did a superb job, mowing the attached campsite, getting the lake and docs ready, providing counters, judges and calculators and last but not least a constant stream of hot and cold drinks and well cooked staple food. My ... and all the racers and MPBA committees heartfelt thanks to you all.

To sum up, two hard fought but enjoyable days racing that gave the results listed below.
